My first post here, so Gidday All: I am running Fedora 4 as a dhcp server with the following config: eth0 - WAN (Settings from ISP via DHCP) eth1 - LAN (Static IP 192.168.0.1) Currenty in my dhcpd.conf file I have the following line: option domain-name-servers 144.140.70.30, 144.140.71.16; The IP's of the nameservers here are the ones my ISP sends to eth0 via dhcp, which I have entered manually. Is there a way to get this dynamically updated from the settings my isp sends to eth0? (ie:If my isp changes its dns server IP's I want all my lan clients to also get updated with the new dns server ips, without me changing this manually in the dchpd.conf file) Here is a listing of my dhcp.conf file: ddns-update-style none; # # DHCP Server Configuration file. # see /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample ption domain-name-servers 144.140.70.30, 144.140.71.16; # # Lan subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 { option netbios-name-servers 192.168.0.1; option routers 192.168.0.1; option domain-name-servers 144.140.70.30, 144.140.71.16; range 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.140; } Any help greatly appreciated Thanks
I don't know of such a feature, but I think it's very, very unusual if an ISP changes his name server IP addresses - something like that would cause him to do a lot of support for confused customers, and I don't think he wants to do that.
Hi Falko, I will leave it as it is and see it goes. I suppose I could always set up a DNS server, but I am trying to keep it simple as I have limited time to spend on this project. Thanks
