Re: BIND 9 with DHCP-DNS and PPPD Demand Dial
I didn't get any responses to my original query with this, so I did some
more poking around of my own.
As it turns out, I should have been using dhcp3 instead of just dhcp as it
has DDNS capability built in.
I have removed dhcp and dhcp-dns, installed dhcp3, and am using the builtin
DDNS capabilities of Bind 9 and dhcp3.
I no longer have erroneous dial-ups.
Just thought I'd post this in case any else experiences a similar situation.
