Try using a more simple MD5, short key. Seem to remember that DHCP doesn't like non-MD5 keys (eg SHA) There was also some sort of length bug? - try 128 bit length. On Fri, 2013-03-29 at 06:19 -0600, Jim Bucks wrote: After working on this some more overnight. I can add records

Hi Mark, Graham, others. I've spent the last day trying all sorts of things to get this working (to no avail). I'm still at the stage of DHCP offering the lease IP address, but the DNS is not automatically updating the two zones files with the newly leased addresses. Here is a grief summary of

Apparently the DHCP server tries to put the change into BIND but times out. What does the named log tell about this? Either it did see the request or it will have an explanation why it won't do it. On 28/03/13 18:18, Jim Bucks wrote: Hi Mark, Graham, others. I've spent the last day trying

Hi Jim, Lost track but have you tried using the IP address of the server for the primary, 172.10.20.101 instead of 127.0.0.1? zone dhcp.coloradostudios.com. { primary 172.10.20.101; - change from 127.0.0.1 key DHCP_UPDATER; } best! jim On 3/28/2013 1:31

No I have not tried that, but .101 is a leased IP address for a Windows workstation. I'm willing to try it, but it seems like that would mean I would need a zone like this for all of my leased addresses??? Jim On Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 11:42 AM, Jim Glassford jmgl...@iup.edu wrote: Hi Jim,
