Dear daemons,
I have been in the process of investigating a migration of all our servers (Windows) to FreeBSD 8.1 or maybe 8.2 when it come out. I have been working with the two main DNS servers in a lab environment. I set up the servers as cache-only servers since they will be doing the forwarding to the main ISP boxes for resolution.
The Problem: I do not have control of DHCP in my environment, another building does, things get updated in terms of A records, PTR and such using Windows, how is this process accomplished using FreeBSD without having control of the main DHCP server.
I have been searching for an answer for a while and don't see a clear answer. Thank you for any assistance resolving this puzzle. BTW, I will be using BIND 9.7.
