Hi all

we have to configure DHCP Server while it is running
is there any way to confiugre the Server fields may be

1. Range
2. IP
3. Lease Time

try to make changes in /etc/dhcpd.conf files manually for these options.

Is there any way to set the settings
without restarting DHCP server
actually we don't want to restart the server and
want to server accept the settings automatically.

CAN YOU HELP ME????

I have a problem in configuring DHCP server in Redhat 9, using dhcp rpm dhcp-3.0pl1-23, all is working fine (I think so ). The problem I face is my client obtain IP from DHCP server but when I run "nslookup" command from client or "dig" from DHCP server both unable to resolve DNS server name. and also unable to resolve any client name. I dont know what is happening.. I uninstall bind rpm and bind-devel rpm from DHCP server only bind -util rpm is installed in DHCP server.. also no error in my messege log fine when I ran nslookup from client pc or from DHCP server.
My nslookup command gives me this error.

c:\> nslookup
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.2: Timed out
*** Default servers are not available
Default Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.1.2

yes I dont have any DNS server in my network, Its means I have to install bind rpm's in my DHCP server so users can user nslookup??
and do I have to configure DNS zone files also for my network or just create them and DHCP automatically update them??

Is any one there to tell how we can configure
dhcpd.conf file run time
i m using c with linux platform
will i had to use file handling or any other method
to configure cz if i do file handling then even one extra space
would corrupt the file(DHCP SERVER will not recognize it)
