This is an example of a DDNS configuration running on Fedora Core 1 Linux.

http://fedoranews.org/contributors/derek_pienaar/ddns http://ops.ietf.org/dns/dynupd/secure-ddns-howto.html DHCPNotes are well worth reading.

DynamicDNS (DDNS) makes adding a new computer to my network as simple as plugging it into my switch. The new client tells the server what its host name is, and the server allocates it an address (DHCP) and lets the rest of the network know (DNS). No configuration at the server is required! (It's the next best thing to ZeroConf?.) I like having this running as I was told it "couldn't be done" :-D.

The "secret key" is generated with dns-keygen.

/etc/named.conf

// Dave's own hacked named.conf // with dynamic DNS :-D

options {

directory "/var/named"; allow-query {

192.168.10/24; 192.168.12/24; localhost;

};

// forward only; // forward first;

forwarders {

210.55.24.14; 210.55.24.8;

};

// just listen internally

listen-on {

192.168.10/24; 192.168.12/24; 127.0.0.1;

};

};

controls {

inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; };

};

// Master DNS servers zone "." IN {

type hint; file "named.ca";

};

// Localhost addresses zone "localhost" IN {

type master; file "localhost.zone"; allow-update { none; };

}; zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN {

type master; file "named.local"; allow-update { none; };

};

// Magic key which lets DHCP update DNS key "DHCP-UPDATER" {

algorithm hmac-md5; secret "ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff";

};

// Home network zone "invermay" {

type master; notify no; file "invermay.zone"; allow-update { key DHCP-UPDATER; };

};

// Reverse name resolution for home network zone "12.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {

type master; notify no; file "named.invermay"; allow-update { key DHCP-UPDATER; };

};

// Reverse name resolution for wireless link zone "10.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {

type master; notify no; file "named.invermay.decknet"; allow-update { key DHCP-UPDATER; };

};

/etc/dhcpd.conf

  1. Dave's own hacked dhcpd.conf
  2. with dynamic DNS :-D
  3. Don't forget command line options are in /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd

ddns-domainname "invermay"; ddns-update-style interim;

  1. ignore client-updates;
  2. ddns-updates off;
  3. Magic key which lets DHCP update DNS

key "DHCP-UPDATER" {

algorithm hmac-md5; secret "ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff";

};

  1. DNS zones to update

And I'd changed a few things so it took me all day to figure out.
