Dynamic Updates in Suse 9

ebolton73 · 05-18-2006, 11:27 AM

I am new to Suse/Linux. I have installed a brand new Suse 9 server and installed DNS. I created a master zone and I would like for my Windows XP client to use this DNS server and update it dynamically. I can successfully use the DNS server, but my client will not dynamically update it. I selected the 'Allow Dynamic Updates' after created a TSIG key.

What am I missing? Doesn't the client need information on the key? Is a TSIG key required for dynamic updates?

Thanks,

Eric

Hi, and welcome to LQ!

If the second box was a Linux machine I'd say
"use nsupdate with -k <keyfile> to achieve what you want",
but since it's a Windows-question I'll just shuffle it to
General (You *ARE* asking how a windows box can update
the zone, right?).

Cheers,
Tink
