Some DNS servers support dynamic registration (called DDNS) but 1) the server has to be configured to support it, and 2) most non-Windows DNS servers are not so configured. Usually it's a manual process. Summon a network admin -- they live for this stuff. David Boyes Sine Nomine Associates > >

Hi Mary, This is what I have so far : The proxy server is called CA_esm_proxy. The binary is /lib/CA_esm_proxy and /lib64/CA_esm_proxy. As you can see, there are 2 versions. We are running SLES9 s390x, the 64 bit version of the OS. What remains is whether we need both versions up at the same tim
