|

<div><p>OS/400<sup>®</sup> V5R1
|
|
DNS based on BIND 8 supports dynamic updates. These allow outside sources,
|
|
such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), to send updates to the
|
|
Domain Name System (DNS) server.</p>
|
|
<p>DHCP is a TCP/IP standard that uses a central server to manage IP addresses
|
|
and other configuration details for an entire network. A DHCP server responds
|
|
to requests from clients, dynamically assigning properties to them. DHCP allows
|
|
you to define network host configuration parameters at a central location
|
|
and automate the configuration of hosts. It is often used to assign temporary
|
|
IP addresses to clients for networks that contain more clients than the number
|
|
of IP addresses available.</p>
|
|
<p>In the past, all DNS data was stored in static databases. All DNS resource
|
|
records had to be created and maintained by the administrator. Now, DNS servers
|
|
running BIND 8 can be configured to accept requests from other sources to
|
|
update zone data dynamically.</p>
|
|
<p>You can configure your DHCP server to send update requests to the DNS server
|
|
each time it assigns a new address to a host. This automated process reduces
|
|
DNS server administration in rapidly growing or changing TCP/IP networks,
|
|
and in networks where hosts change locations frequently. When a client using
|
|
DHCP receives an IP address, that data is immediately sent to the DNS server.
|
|
Using this method, DNS can continue to successfully resolve queries for hosts,
|
|
even when their IP addresses change.</p>
|
|
<p>You can configure DHCP to update address mapping (A) records, reverse-lookup
|
|
pointer (PTR) records, or both on behalf of a client. The A record maps a
|
|
machine's host name to its IP address. The PTR record maps a machine's IP
|
|
address to its host name. When a client's address changes, DHCP can automatically
|
|
send an update to the DNS server so other hosts in the network can locate
|
|
the client through DNS queries at its new IP address. For each record that
|
|
is updated dynamically, an associated Text (TXT) record is written to identify
|
|
that the record was written by DHCP.</p>
|
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> If you set DHCP to update only PTR records, you must configure DNS
|
|
to allow updates from clients so that every client can update its A record.
|
|
Not all DHCP clients support making their own A record update requests. Consult
|
|
the documentation for your client platform before choosing this method.</div>
|
|
<p>Dynamic zones are secured by creating a list of authorized sources that
|
|
are allowed to send updates. You can define authorized sources using individual
|
|
IP addresses, whole subnets, packets that have been signed using a shared
|
|
secret key (called a <em>Transaction Signature</em>, or TSIG), or any combination
|
|
of those methods. DNS verifies that incoming request packets are coming from
|
|
an authorized source before updating the resource records.</p>
|
|
<p>Dynamic updates can be performed between DNS and DHCP on a single iSeries™ server,
|
|
between different iSeries servers, or between an iSeries and
|
|
other servers that are capable of dynamic updates.</p>
|
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> The dynamic update application programming interface (API) QTOBUPT is
|
|
required on servers that are sending dynamic updates to DNS. It is installed
|
|
automatically with i5/OS™ Option 31, DNS.</div>
