- There are three kinds of events that can happen regarding
- a lease, and it is possible to declare statements that
- occur when any of these events happen. These events are
- the commit event, when the server has made a commitment of
- a certain lease to a client, the release event, when the
- client has released the server from its commitment, and
- the expiry event, when the commitment expires.

+ The DHCP server has the ability to dynamically update the
+ Domain Name System. Within the configuration files, you
+ can define how you want the Domain Name System to be
+ updated. These updates are RFC 2136 compliant so any DNS
+ server supporting RFC 2136 should be able to accept
+ updates from the DHCP server. The DHCP server will only
+ perform DNS updates if it has been built with DNS updates
+ enabled as described in the README file that comes with
+ the DHCP distribution.
- Currently, only the commit event is fully supported. The
- commit event occurs just before the DHCP server sends a
- DHCPACK message to a DHCP client, or a BOOTREPLY message
- to a BOOTP client.
+ The Dynamic DNS update scheme implemented in this version
+ of the ISC DHCP server is an interim implementation, which
+ does not implement any of the standard update methods that
+ have been discussed in the working group, but rather
+ implements some very basic, yet useful, update capabili
+ ties.
- The release event is partially supported, but currently
- will not occur if the server is restarted after the lease
- is assigned. This will be fixed in the near future.
+ There are three parameters, which may vary according to
+ the scope, that control how DDNS updates will be done.
+ The first two are the _\bd_\bd_\bn_\bs_\b-_\bd_\bo_\bm_\ba_\bi_\bn_\bn_\ba_\bm_\be and _\bd_\bd_\bn_\bs_\b-_\br_\be_\bv_\b-_\bd_\bo_\bm_\ba_\bi_\bn_\b
+ _\bn_\ba_\bm_\be statements. The _\bd_\bd_\bn_\bs_\b-_\bd_\bo_\bm_\ba_\bi_\bn_\bn_\ba_\bm_\be parameter sets the

+ domain name that will be appended to the client's hostname
+ to form a fully-qualified domain-name (FQDN). For exam
+ ple, if the client's hostname is "hutson" and the _\bd_\bd_\bn_\bs_\b-
+ _\bd_\bo_\bm_\ba_\bi_\bn_\bn_\ba_\bm_\be is set to "sneedville.edu", then the client's
+ FQDN will be "hutson.sneedville.edu".
+
+ The _\bd_\bd_\bn_\bs_\b-_\br_\be_\bv_\b-_\bd_\bo_\bm_\ba_\bi_\bn_\bn_\ba_\bm_\be parameter sets the domain name
+ that will be appended to the client's reversed IP address
+ to produce a name for use in the client's PTR record.
+ Normally, you would set this to "in-addr.arpa", but this
+ is not required.
+
+ A third parameter, _\bd_\bd_\bn_\bs_\b-_\bh_\bo_\bs_\bt_\bn_\ba_\bm_\be can be used to specify
+ the hostname that will be used as the client's hostname.
+ If no ddns-hostname is specified in scope, then the server
+ will use a host-name option sent by the client. If the
+ client did not send a host-name option, then if there is a
+ host declaration that applies to the client, the name from
+ that declaration will be used. If none of these applies,
+ the server will not have a hostname for the client, and
+ will not be able to do a DDNS update.
+

+ The client's FQDN, derived as we have described, is used
+ as the name on which an "A" record will be stored. The A
+ record will contain the IP address that the client was
+ assigned in its lease. If there is already an A record
+ with the same name in the DNS server, no update of either
+ the A or PTR records will occur - this prevents a client
+ from claiming that its hostname is the name of some net
+ work server. For example, if you have a fileserver
+ called "fs.sneedville.edu", and the client claims its
+ hostname is "fs", no DNS update will be done for that
+ client, and an error message will be logged.
+
+ If the A record update succeeds, a PTR record update for
+ the assigned IP address will be done, pointing to the A
+ record. This update is unconditional - it will be done
+ even if another PTR record of the same name exists.
+ Since the IP address has been assigned to the DHCP server,
+ this should be safe.
+
+ Please note that the current implementation assumes
+ clients only have a single network interface. A client
+ with two network interfaces will see unpredictable
+ behaviour. This is considered a bug, and will be fixed
+ in a later release. It may be helpful to enable the _\bo_\bn_\be_\b-
+ _\bl_\be_\ba_\bs_\be_\b-_\bp_\be_\br_\b-_\bc_\bl_\bi_\be_\bn_\bt parameter so that roaming clients do not
+ trigger this same behavior.
+
+ The DHCP protocol normally involves a four-packet exchange
+ - first the client sends a DHCPDISCOVER message, then the
+ server sends a DHCPOFFER, then the client sends a DHCPRE
+ QUEST, then the server sends a DHCPACK. In the current
+
+
+
+ 11
+
- 10
+
+dhcpd.conf(5) dhcpd.conf(5)
+
+
+ version of the server, the server will do a DNS update
+ after it has received the DHCPREQUEST, and before it has
+ sent the DHCPOFFER. It only sends the DNS update if it
+ has not sent one for the client's address before, in order
+ to minimize the impact on the DHCP server.
+
+ When the client's lease expires, the DHCP server (if it is
+ operating at the time, or when next it operates) will
+ remove the client's A and PTR records from the DNS
+ database. If the client releases its lease by sending a
+ DHCPRELEASE message, the server will likewise remove the A
+ and PTR records.

+ Support for TSIG and DNSSEC is not yet available. When
+ you set your DNS server up to allow updates from the DHCP
+ server, you may be exposing it to unauthorized updates.
+ To avoid this, the best you can do right now is to use IP
+ address-based packet filtering to prevent unauthorized
+ hosts from submitting update requests.
+
+ The DNS server must be configured to allow updates for any
+ zone that the DHCP server will be updating. For example,
+ let us say that clients in the sneedville.edu domain will
+ be assigned addresses on the 10.10.17.0/24 subnet. In
+ that case, assuming you are using ISC BIND 8.2.1 or later,
+ you would need to have the following declarations in your
+ /etc/named.conf file:
+
+ zone "sneedville.edu" {
+ type master;
+ file "sneedville.edu.db";
+ allow-update { localhost; };
+ };
+
+ zone "17.10.10.in-addr.arpa" {
+ type master;
+ file "10.10.17.db";
+ allow-update { localhost; };
+ };
+
+ This assumes that your DHCP server and your name server
+ will be running on the same computer - the "localhost"
+ name is taken in the DNS server as an alias for all of
+ that host's IP addresses, and updates from any of those
+ addresses will be accepted.
+
+ You may wish to enable logging of DNS transactions on your
+ DNS server. To do so, you might write a logging statement
+ like the following:
+
+ logging {
