Basically it says replace the default DHCP server with something that works - bootpd (pronounced boot-P-D) does not play nice with named (pronounced name-D).<br />

Thanks for the reply. &nbsp;I saw that as well. &nbsp;Any other way that Lion can do it by itself? &nbsp;

I am having issues with Lion server DHCP and DNS nicely. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Both services are installed on the same server - Lion 10.7.2. &nbsp;Open Directory is also installed.<br />
Clients are able to get a DHCP address <br />
Clients are able to access internal and external resources.<br />
<br />
I am able to bind these machines to Open Directory just fine. &nbsp;I can see the machines in Workgroup Manager. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I see the clients with their IP addresses in DHCP. &nbsp;However, there are no DNS entries created. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Is this supposed to happen? &nbsp;If so, is there a way to get it to create the entries. &nbsp;Creating the DNS entries manually is not an option. &nbsp;Thanks<br />

Mac OSX Lion server: DHCP and DNS

Mac OS X is the desktop operating system from Apple Inc., found on Macintosh computers. OS X consists of a Mach/BSD-based kernel, operating system interfaces primarily based on FreeBSD and additional frameworks (written in C, C++ and Objective-C providing user interface and application-level services.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).
