Greetings; My local home network runs with most of its machines having fixed addresses, referenced in their host files. But I do have a dhcp server setup for when ever my lappy is powered up and logs in thru a wap11 from its builtin broadcom radio. How can I rig my dns lookups so that I can still ssh into this lappy by its name, diablo.coyote.den when its given a dynamic address by dhcpd? As it is, I have to goto the lappy and run an ifconfig to find its address and ssh to that. Cumbersome.

You'll need to allow DNS updates from your local network (not the world). You do this by allowing updates in named.conf only from "trusted" subnets. On my server this looks like:

...
zone "local.davenjudy.org" IN {
       type master;
       file "local.davenjudy.org";
       allow-query {
               trusted;
       };
       allow-update {
               trusted;
       };
};
...

I also remember having to "play with" the permissions and ownership for the forward and reverse zone files for my local network in order for this to work. If you need a full example of named.conf, let me know by private e-mail.

Cheers,
Dave
