Description Moritz Muehlenhoff univentionstaff 2012-06-19 16:49:08 CEST
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #24282 +++

The DHCP configuration usually does not provide a ddns setup.

The necessary configuration entries in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf should look
similar to this:

send host-name "<hostname>";
send fqdn.fqdn "<hostname>.<domainname>";
send fqdn.server-update off;
send fqdn.encoded on;

These entries will try to set the forward and reverse entries in the zone files
at the dns server.

This assumes the dns server enables modification of the zone files by dhcp
clients.

As this feature is not required essentially it should be possible to enable it
on demand. Therefor two UCRV should be implemented:

1. Enabling ddns (yes/no) - default: empty (means: no)
2. Set the fqdn-domainname explicitly - default: empty (means: domainname)

Hierzu reicht vorerst die Dokumentation über die UCR-Variable, keine Handbuchanpassung nötig.
