win2k DHCP Clients do not register their reverse zone on DNS server

['chris']

Hi

I've installed the linux BIND
9.1.3 DNS server in the win2k area network.
All win2k server register themselves
(reverse entries included )
on the linux DNS server
automatically.
Only win2k DHCP Clients,
connected via win2k DHCP server, do not register themselves in the reverse zone at DNS server and I don't know why.
WIN2k DHCP server registered itself however in the reverse
zone.
Any suggestion or idea ?

hi chris.

Most likely the reverse zone you have set up is wrong on the Linux server.

Post it up at the very least, and perhaps all the zones and the contents of /etc/named.conf

Then the "Linux Team" can pic it apart and let you know what the problem is.

I would also post some data proving to the group that problem is as yo say it is.

Which DHCP server is primary, which is the slave?

In general for accurate help, you can't post up too much information.

Regards,

hi Steven

we have only one DHCP server
WIN2000.
we don't have any slave DHCP,
not yet.
named.conf entries are:

//Zone entry for Active Directory domain xxxx.net.
zone "xxxx.net" {
type master;
file "/var/named/xxxx.net.hosts";
allow-update { 10.20.0.0/22; 127.0.0.1; };
notify yes;
check-names ignore;
};


zone "1.20.10.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/var/named/10.20.1.rev";
allow-update { 10.20.0.0/22; 127.0.0.1; };
notify yes;
check-names ignore;
};

kindly regards

hi Steven

now it works well !

for subnet 10.20.0.0/22 I created
4 reverse zones :

/Zone entry for Active Directory domain xxxx.net.
zone "xxxx.net" {
type master;
file "/var/named/xxxx.net.hosts";
allow-update { 10.20.0.0/22; };
};

zone "0.20.10.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/var/named/10.20.0.rev";
allow-update { 10.20.0.0/22; };
};

zone "1.20.10.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/var/named/10.20.1.rev";
allow-update { 10.20.0.0/22; };
};

zone "2.20.10.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/var/named/10.20.2.rev";
allow-update { 10.20.0.0/22; };
};

zone "3.20.10.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/var/named/10.20.3.rev";
allow-update { 10.20.0.0/22; };
};

kind regards
