(please > not the BIND manuals, been over those three times) The easy way is to just set up forward/reverse lookups for the DHCP scope. A quick line in the forward zone file would be: $GENERATE 100-254 dhcp-$ A 192.168.0.$ (of course, change the "dhcp-" to what ever you want the header part to be, and change the 192.168.0. to the actual network) The reverse lookup zone would be slightly different. $GENERATE 100-254 $ PTR dhcp-$.yourdomain.foo. A more difficult way, but more human usable is to enable dynamic DNS updating. BIND supports it, but I'm not sure how to enable it, nor to enable your clients/dhcp server to use it. -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE http://geek.j2solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (http://www.microwerks.net/~hugo/) Was I helpful?
