Dynamic DNS update on MOSX server?

Hi


I try to configure dynamic DNS update on a MOSX server.
Dynamic DNS update means, that the the DHCP server communicates the IP numbers and names to the DNS server, as they are distributed.
Unfortunately Apple doesn't use a standard DHCP daemon. Apple uses BootP in conjunction with NetInfo.
I saw, that several standard DHCP options do have a "dhcp_" prefix and sometimes, the plural is replaced with the singular of a word in the Apple version. I also felt the need of creating a "zones" subgroup.
Anyway, I tried to configure MOSX server's bootp in NetInfo as attached at the end of this posting.

I also saw, that there's a program called "nsupdate", that is supposed to update the DNS; but more statically.

Has anybody succeeded in doing this? Are there any documents explaining, how Apple wants us to do this?


Thanks
Phil
