Hi

We're moving to a dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) environment in our lab. I want to make use of IPv6's automatic methods of creating and assigning IPv6 addresses. But I want to register names for these IP addresses in our Windows-based DNS server. On SLES, I think I can use nsupdate, take the value in 'hostname', and use it to construct DNS update transactions, either (1) registering all of a node's IP addresses to the same name, or (2) registering each of a node's IP addresses to a modification of the hostname.

I've done some initial testing with nsupdate on SLES 9, trying to get it to add entries to my Windows-based DNS server. But, though I get no error on either Linux or Windows, no updates occur.

Thoughts?

Thanks!
