It is possible for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) clients
to attempt to update the same DNS Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)
or to update a DNS FQDN that has been added to the DNS for another
purpose as they obtain DHCP leases. Whether the DHCP server or the
clients themselves perform the DNS updates, conflicts can arise. To
resolve such conflicts, RFC 4703 proposes storing client identifiers
in the DNS to unambiguously associate domain names with the DHCP
clients to which they refer. This memo defines a distinct Resource
Record (RR) type for this purpose for use by DHCP clients and servers:
the "DHCID" RR. [STANDARDS TRACK]
This document is a product of the Dynamic Host Configuration
Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track
protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and
suggestions for improvements.Please refer to the current edition of the
Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization
