Sounds like that's the problem. It's awfully hard for the dhcp server to 
update dns if the dns server isn't running.

 

OK...  
I deserved that one...
Allow me to clarify...
I have DNS running authoritative for my home network and caching for the 
outside world.
I have forward lookups running.  I'm having problems getting reverse 
lookups going.  I should have said reverse lookups were what was broken 
when I originally posted this.  (I'm back inth the DNS and Bind book 
from O'Reilly.)
Is it complaining because reverse lookups are not working right or 
should I be looking elsewhere in DNS?
Cheers...

DHCP message that I don't understand

2003-03-10 Thread Tom Parquette
I'm setting up DHCP for the first time on 5.0-CURRENT.
In the end, I would like to get DDNS working.
I set up the dhcpd.conf and it appears to be issuing addresses correctly.
My old W98 laptop appears to have gotten the right information.
I do not have DNS set up yet and that may be part of my problem...
I'm getting the following message periodically (it appears to agree with 
the DHCP lease renewal.)
Can someone clue me in to what this is trying to say?

dhcpd:  Unable to add forward map from T410CDT.Tom.Parquette.name to 
192.168.2.100:  not a zone.

When I set up dhcp on the laptop, I gave it the hostname T410CDT and the 
domain of Tom.Parquette.name.
I also tried taking the domain name out.

TIA
