You're missing the fun of making it complex and possible break things. dns zone aut numbering is easy enough with dhcp to serv ip's to devices. just 2 euro cents if they have any value left... Robert

I'm just trying to figure out why the need for DNS entries for such ad-hoc things that pop in and out of the house. They get an IP config from DHCP and they just work. What am I missing? Off the top of my head, I have the following on the home network: iphone 5, iphone 4s, itouch 4, itouch 2g, nexus4, macbook pro, macbook pro, macbook retina, roku, ps3, wii, mac mini, hackintosh, solaris box + virtualbox VMs. I have a couple of IP addresses memorized, but it would be far far easier to ssh name@retina or name@hackintosh. Or if a new device is lit up (say, kids' friends come over and ask to get on the network) I can easily tell what it is. -- http://www.glumbert.com/media/shift http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGvHNNOLnCk This officer's men seem to follow him merely out of idle curiosity. -- Sandhurst officer cadet evaluation.

Thanks! Dynamic DNS works fine here. I use BIND from the base system toghether with ISC DHCPD 4.2.4 from the packages on OpenBSD 5.2. There are plenty of docus about how to setup dynamic DNS using BIND and ISC DHCPD. Regards, Bruno
Re: dhcp and dns
I confirm dynamic dns updates works with OpenBSD named, but you must replace OpenBSD dhcpd with isc-dhcpd from packages, failover and dynamic dns updates works with it -- Best regards, Loïc BLOT, UNIX systems, security and network expert http://www.unix-experience.fr Le dimanche 03 février 2013 à 12:42 +0100, Bruno Flückiger a écrit : On 02/03/13 05:56, bofh wrote: I'm running 5.2.

I use dnsmasq from ports at a one site. It provides DNS and DHCP services in a single daemon. At another, I recently downloaded the latest version and built it from scratch. Administration is very simple compared to any other solution I could find, especially the DHCP from ISC and named combo. I NEVER would use it for anything facing the wild woolly Internet. For a home network, I think it perfect.
