It is not perfect, has some unnecessary stuff in it, the domain used is a private domain but like I said it works so it must have at least as much as necessary to make it work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [bepstein@dellnikon ~]$ more /etc/dhcpd.conf ddns-update-style interim; ignore client-updates; subnet 192.168.65.0 netmask 255.255.255.128 { # --- default gateway option routers 192.168.65.1; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.128; option nis-domain "nrims"; option domain-name "nrims"; option domain-name-servers 192.168.65.1,132.183.243.118,132.183.1.1 1; option time-offset -18000; # Eastern Standard Time # option ntp-servers 192.168.1.1; # option netbios-name-servers 192.168.1.1; # --- Selects point-to-point node (default is hybrid).
