FW: dhcp/dynamic-dns "hostname/domain" issue

[Cuttler, Brian (HEALTH)]

I sent this earlier, and thought it hit my inbox, but I don’t see it…

I’ve updated the subnet statement for debugging purposes. Please see below.

I’m running isc dhcp 4.2.5 on Centos 7, and named 9.9.4.

Our computers all know their names, which are their inventory barcodes ex, “cs00123”, “hr45678”

While simple machines like printers or basic computers have no problems registering with DHCP, and having their information entered in named, we are seeing that the computers that are connected to the local domain server are providing client names of “cs00123.Health1.HCOM.Health.State.NY.US.”.

This does not seem to be an issue for DHCP, but we are registering DNS Reverse records of cs00123.health1.hcom.health.state.ny.us and not registering forward records at all.

I’d thought that I could re-write the address by specifying the following in the subnet

ddns-hostname = substring (option host-name, 0, 7);
ddns-domainname = “esp22.wadsworth.org”;

again, this works fine for printers, and non-domain computers.

We would like the domain member computers to have forward and reverse records of
10.57.36.22 in a   cs00123.wadsworth.org.
10.57.36.22 in ptr cs00123.wadsworth.org.

And not healt1.hcom….us

I will include the full zone and subnet info.

Any help to debug/fix this issue would be appreciated.


n  I have added the “log()” messages and restarted the server, I see that the edited hostname comes back as expected, but the other log messages do not cause anything to be put to my log file.

I suspect this is a matter of default and/or priority of how things are declared, but I can’t seem to find the info I need to get things working as we’d like.


zone esp22.wadsworth.org. {
primary 199.184.30.15;
key dhcpupdate;
}

#### default_vlan at ESP, Vlan 22
subnet 10.57.36.0 netmask 255.255.252.0 {
authoritative;
#use-host-decl-names on;
option routers 10.57.36.1;
        ddns-hostname = substring (option host-name, 0, 7);
        ddns-domainname = "esp22.wadsworth.org";
        ddns-rev-domainname "in-addr.arpa.";
        option domain-name-servers 199.184.30.15, admin.wadsworth.org, bionsc.wadsworth.org, ldap1.wadsworth.org;
log(info,concat("hostname ", ddns-hostname));
log(info,concat("domain name ",ddns-domainname));
log(info,concat("edited name ",substring(option host-name,0,7)));
        pool {
                range 10.57.36.10  10.57.39.254;
                allow unknown-clients;
                allow known-clients;
#                deny dynamic bootp clients;
        option domain-name-servers 199.184.30.15, 199.184.30.91, admin.wadsworth.org, bionsc.wadsworth.org, ldap1.wadsworth.org;
        }
}
