Editing entries of a DNS server

Hi!

I need to create an app running on a machine where a DNS server is running.  I want to be able to edit DNS entries in the server using my app.

Where should I start ?

Thanks :)

for Win2k/XP, it can be found from the registry (space delimited):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\DhcpNameServer

So, you may edit it using your software.

Thanks for the response but I dont think this is what I need.  I really don't know how this actually works though (I'm more of a programmer than a network guy :) so maybe you are right but let me try to be clearer.

The application I want to build will be running on a machine which actual runs  the DNS Server.  This Server should normally map IP adresses with Domain Names so I want to be able to edit those mapping by code.

Where should I look first ?
Ah. The registry settings above only changes the DNS server for lookup. Not what you need, obviously.

What DNS Server software are you using? Perhaps the documentation of the software will tell you more about it?
