My DHCPD configuration file is "authoritative", uses the interim ddns-update-style, has ddns-updates on, specifically mentions the zone file to be updated, what IP address the DNS server can be found at, and mentions the key involved for authentication. Configuration options specific to this copied below: authoritative; allow client-updates; include "/etc/rndc.key"; ddns-update-style interim; ddns-updates on; zone 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. { primary 192.168.1.2; key rndckey; } zone example.com. { primary 192.168.1.2; key rndckey; } My named.conf file allows the local network to update (some of) the DNS records. Configuration options specific to this copied below: include "/etc/rndc.key"; controls { inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; }; }; acl lan { 192.168/16; 127.0.0.1; }; zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.zone"; allow-update { key "rndckey"; }; allow-transfer { lan; }; notify yes; }; zone "example.com" { type master; file "example.com.zone"; allow-update { key "rndckey"; }; allow-transfer { lan; }; notify yes; }; Beyond this, Google for further information on local DNS serving using BIND and DHCP on Fedora. i.e. Include the keywords for all you're doing in the search, trying to come up with a likely title for a document that someone might have written about how to do it. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
