ah.. yes sir currently our ip addressing are statically assigned. but unfortunately, ever since i got into the company the records was not been updated. & there are some cases where in the user together with their respective PC move from one branch to the other ( means they change from one subnet to another) that's why it's gonna be alot of work if im going to start DHCP with MAC address pairing.
Well, you're bound to do something like that, anyway -- it's part of your work as a network tech guy. :)
so sir Rafael do you think would considering with our currently setup, is it much better if i just make a records (zonefile) of the IP address & the hostnames in the current nameserver that i've worked on?
You're still have to list down all available static IPs and match them with hostnames. Since you're already configuring hosts with static IPs, it's simpler to just get the MAC addresses as well, map them to DHCP-assigned IP addresses and hostnames, and use that list for a zone file. Seems lot a like of work, but, well, that's part of your job.
currently im starting my research for DHCP... although i'm still quite clueless
You may also want to look at NetReg <http://netreg.sourceforge.net> or just search for [DHCP registration systems]. These tools will shift the burden of registering IP and hostnames to the clients. But... there's still the matter of setting up DHCP, DNS, HTTP, etc. *sigh* Lots of work ahead. :/ -- Ian Dexter R.
