But somehow this information is just not available through DNS >(of VMWare). You have to configure your dhcpd and named to support this. I think the keyword you are looking for is "DDNS". From what you said, it looks like the dhcpd and named are both provided by Ubuntu. You should use their support infrastructure instead of Debian's unless you believe the problem in with the clients. <sarcasm>I believe there is a company that provides Ubuntu support for a fee.</sarcasm> -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
