DDNS and DHCP

[Adam Lang]

But that doesn't make sense (unless there is something about zones I don't
understand).

I can't have more than one zone per subnet, correct?

Well if I have a network printer that is going to be used 95% of the time by
a subnet and 5% of the time outside of it, I want that printer in that
subnet to control traffic.  I also need the printer to be static.  How would
I have the printer in that subnet, but on a different DNS zone than the
dynamic clients in the subnet?


As for the DHCP question, someone answered it.  Basically for DHCP the
client can tell the server what hostname it wants.  I was curious where
Windows gets the name it recommends.  Someone said it is the netbios name,
which seems to corroborate other findings.
