<h1 class="topictitle1">Configure DHCP to send dynamic updates to DNS</h1>
<div><p>You can configure your DHCP and DNS servers to dynamically update
DNS resource records when the DHCP server leases an IP address to a client.</p>
<div class="section"><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>For record updates
to occur, Option 31 must be installed on this iSeries™ server. The DHCP server uses
programming interfaces provided by Option 31 to perform dynamic updates. The
DNS server can be running on a separate iSeries server that is capable
of performing dynamic updates. For information about verifying that Option
31 is installed, refer to DNS system requirements.</p>
<p>To configure DHCP
properties to allow the DHCP server to perform dynamic DNS updates, follow
these steps:</p>
