I already use the interim ddns update style. So if I use the events to
store the mac adresses in a database the DDNS will still works right ?

I am worried because in the dhcpd.conf man page I could read :

"Events are used to implement DNS updates, so you should not define
your own event handlers if you are using the built-in DNS update
mechanism."

Who is right ?
