The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Dynamic DNS for Windows XP clients to a Linux Bind9 server

Asked by coanda in Domain Name Service (DNS), Windows XP Operating System, Linux

Tags: Windows XP, Linux, Debian, Bind9, DNS

I've got a Linux Bind9 DNS server configured to the point that I can use it with both Windows and Linux clients and am able to nslookup any static entry set in the zone files. What I want to do now is have Windows XP clients connect dynamically but something is missing, I've followed various tutorials that describe creating keys using dnssec-keygen and then using nsupdate on the client to delete/recreate the A record but after I do that I'm still not able to lookup the client by name or IP. Instead I get:

C:\>nslookup
Default Server: ns1.domain.ca
Address: 10.0.0.2

> ns1
Server: ns1.domain.ca
Address: 10.0.0.2

Name: ns1.domain.ca
Address: 10.0.0.2

> cl1
Server: ns1.domain.ca
Address: 10.0.0.2

*** ns1.domain.ca can't find cl1: Non-existent domain

> cl1.domain.ca
Server: ns1.domain.ca
Address: 10.0.0.2

*** ns1.domain.ca can't find cl1.domain.ca: Non-existent domain

---

It looks to me like static entries are working as expected but not dynamic ones, which might make perfect sense considering no initial record was ever made for them on the name server. But doing that would defeat the purpose of a dynamic setup... wouldn't it?

A couple of questions:
1. To have dynamic clients does the DNS server also need to act as a DHCP that creates the initial A records?
2. Is it actually possible to get a Windows Bind9 client to dynamically create and update its name record?
3. If so, how and where can I find a howto/reference?

Thanks in advance for any help.
