Hmmm, IIRC your server will only have those records if your client
workstations are *also* DNS servers serving their own record (which
defeats the purpose of a centralized DNS anyway.)
Your best bet would be to define static IP addresses for each
workstation (or have a DHCP server that serves specific IP addresses
based on MAC address) and define zone records (maybe even reverse) right
on the DNS server itself. Given the work you've already did in getting
DNS up, this shouldn't take too long :P

Sir Zakame,
So your saying is that i should also setup or config a DHCP server so
that the named service would just accquire the IP tables form the DHCP?
i think it would be nice din but i think matching the IP address with
the specific MAC address would be a difficult task.
thanks for sharing
