man ddns.pl (Commandes) - the script that updates the dns and settles the dhcp stuff

NAME

ddns.pl - the script that updates the dns and settles the dhcp stuff

SYNOPSIS

INTERNAL

DESCRIPTION

ddns.pl is the script that updates the dns data, it also settles the information given dinamically on the dhcp server configuration, so that things become static instead of dynamic. It does this by creating the update instructions for nsupdate and BIND 8, and writing host entries with the name, MAC and IP addresses on the dhcp configuration. This script is called from ddns.cron.pl, and should not be called directly, if the user wants to force any updates, he should call ddns.cron.pl and not ddns.pl directly.
