DHCP and DDNS

[unixrocks]

HI all,
Have a bit of a problem configuring DHCP and DDNS on a RedHat LINUX machine (Sun RaQ550 ) Using dhcpd v3.0 and BIND 9.0.


The problem is that when the DHCP server, same as the DNS one, allocates a IP address only the db.mydomain.com file is updated while the 27.44.88.in-addr.arpa file is not. Turned on loggin in /etc/named.conf and the error it reports is denied. All files have the same permissions and everything. Has anyone got any ideas?

Regards

Slighty Frustrated.

Check your /etc/named.conf file. Make sure you have "allow-update" for the reverse lookup zone. It sounds like you only have it listed for the mydomain.com zone.

fluid11. I started another thread on TCP/IP that has all the conf files, feel free to check them. I have got the allow-update stuff in the zone 27.44.88.in-addr.arpa declaration. Think is it was updating all the zone files when I had allow-update {1.22.44.88 }. Since I changed it to use dnssec-keygen keys it now only updates the xxxx.co.uk zone file.

Bizzare.
