We are setting up a netreg server here at our university (University of Alaska
Fairbanks) and we would like to be able to do some DDNS with the students.
The main problem is that Netreg does the DHCP address assignments but we have
a separate name server that does the DNS resolving. Has anyone tried doing
any sort of DDNS work with Netreg and if so how did you do it? Does anyone
have any ideas of how we may be able to get this working?
I was thinking that possibly we could have a script of some sort running ever
minute or two that would pull the information from the dhcpd.leases file and
the dhcpd.conf file every minute or so, parse them for the student's user name
(dhcpd.conf) and their current IP address lease (dhcpd.leases) and then send
that information over the the DNS server which would update the DNS
accordingly anytime there is a change. I am kind of hoping that there is a
more eloquent way of doing this or at least an easier way of doing it.
