HELP ON DNS
Hello,
Firstly let me introduce myself as a B. Tech Computer Science and
Engineering student at University of Mauritius. For my final year, I have
to do a project namely:
'Design and Implementation of a Dynamic Domain Name Server for host
configuration on a LAN.' If, for e. g., a new server joins the LAN, the
Domain Name Server automatically updates a lookup table automatically. TCP/IP protocol is
being used to implement.
We are planning to proceed as follows:
As soon as a new server joins the network, it broadcast its ethernet address. When the name
server gets the message then sends a packet using the ethernet address to the server and
gives it a name and an IP address. Then the name server pings the new server to see if
everything is OK.
I shall be much grateful how can I find the said new server using ethernet address?
Please send me some more information on the netbeui protocol.
Thank you for your attention
Osman
