You might want to double-check, but I believe that Microsoft's implementation of dynamic DNS is partly based on NetBIOS. My current understanding is that Windows DHCP clients report their NetBIOS host names when requesting an IP address, which the Windows DHCP server then adds to the Windows DNS server. I'm not sure if this is a custom DHCP protocol extension, or if simply running Samba on the Linux client to provide a NetBIOS name will be sufficient. If not, a good way to deal with this may be to enable dynamic DNS via BIND, and then have the Windows DNS server query the BIND server when needed. If anyone knows of a cleaner solution, I'd be interested in learning about it myself. -- "Of course I'm in shape!
