Ok, if I change the root.hints with the one from ftp.rs.internic.net I
get no startup errors but during REQUEST I get:

  dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:c0:4f:e0:86:7a via eth1
  dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 10.20.0.36 to 00:c0:4f:e0:86:7a via eth1
  dhcpd: nsupdate failed: unknown hostname for update
  dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 10.20.0.36 from 00:c0:4f:e0:86:7a via eth1
  dhcpd: DHCPACK on 10.20.0.36 to 00:c0:4f:e0:86:7a via eth1

Any ideas?
