That would be great - if you can point me in the right direction, I'll
try to find out more about the interaction between the two - if this was
provided by default by these two processes, then it would solve a ton of
problems for people like myself.
>Comments welcome on those ideas.
Besides the probably rather tricky method of reinventing the possible
wheel and writing a synchronize module between dhcpd and bind-8, two
features that could make things really easy right now would be:
* A method to specify a block of IPs for the hosts file - something like
being able to enter 192.168.100.100-200 and having linuxconf
automatically create the proper entries in hosts.
* a quick way to import a hosts file, as you already suggested yourself.
Essentially, concerning the dhcpd/hosts synchronize, it could probably be
solved rather easily by having a configuration option to set 'synchronize
dhcpd clients and hosts file y/n', and then, whenever adding clients to
the dhcpd server config, having them automatically added to the hosts
file when/if the config is set appropriately.
