No Dynamic update of my DNS when MAC computers take their fixed address

                        option ntp-servers ntp-se.probiomed.com.mx;
                        option time-servers ntp-se.probiomed.com.mx;
                        range 172.16.41.180 172.16.41.254;
                        default-lease-time 28800;
                        max-lease-time 43200;
                        }
				
				host 02-00-00248 {
                              option host-name "02-00-00248.probiomed.com";
                              hardware ethernet 00:0C:76:04:09:FB;
                              fixed-address 172.16.41.10;
                                  }

Here I put more stations with fixed address
}

I review your comments but, My windows PCs configured with fixed address in
this way can update the internal DNS, my Linux work stations can update the
DNS like the windows PCs. ONLY the MACINTOSH PCs can't update their names on
the DNS.

I don't understand why ONLY the MAC can't update their option host-name on
DNS.

My dynamic range is used for some visitors and suppliers. I'm not interested
to update their names in my local DNS, only the PC and stations with fixed
address.


Thank you in advance for your comments and help

Do you really have a shared network - it's 
impossible to tell from what you posted since the 
closing braces don't match the opening braces in 
quantity and the indentation gives no clue.

By default, ddns does not happen with clients 
given fixed addresses - only with dynamically 
assigned addresses. You have three options :

1) Use dynamic addresses - it's what dhcp is good at.

2) Manually update the dns to match your dhcp config.

3) Set (IIRC) update-static-leases to true so 
that the dns will be updated for statically 
defined clients, but do read the manual (man 
dhcpd.conf) first so you know what the drawbacks 
are.
