| Particle is setting up DNS servers on his Windows 2000 network. He wants his clients to be able to access both his Windows 2000 Servers as well as his UNIX Servers. Particle wishes to accomplish this with the least amount of servers and the least administrative effort. Which is the best choice?
A. Install a Windows 2000 DNS Server. Configure your zone for dynamic updates for the Windows 2000 Servers and add manual entries for your UNIX computers.
B. Install a Windows 2000 DNS Server. Configure your zone for dynamic updates so the Windows 2000 and UNIX Servers can update DNS automatically.
C. Put Hosts files on your client computers as they will not be able to resolve UNIX computers using Windows 2000 DNS.
D. Install a Windows 2000 DNS Server for the Windows Servers and a UNIX DNS Server for the UNIX Servers.

| I'm stuck between A and B. Not sure. | |

| A | |

| I  would go for A | |
| jocampo 2003-09-11, 2:39 pm |
| I'll go with "B", but not sure. If i can recall well, new BIND versions supports Dynamic Updates, so, theorically, UNIX servers could use this feauture too.
"A" could be a choice too, but i won't take it, 'cause this option means a lot of administration overhead; it implies that one per one, each UNIX host records must be added manually: too much fun! | |

New BIND versions does supports rfc 2136, altought, not sure about the client side issue, i mean, if the machine is able to register automatically on DNS Server or not... | |

AFAIK there is no client side support for dynamic registration in UNIX. | |

And the answer is A. Install a Windows 2000 DNS Server. Configure your zone for dynamic updates for the Windows 2000 Servers and add manual entries for your UNIX computers.
Installing a Windows 2000 DNS Server and setting up a zone with dynamic updates enabled will allow the Windows 2000 Servers to automatically enter their records in DNS. UNIX systems will not dynamically enter their information in DNS so it will have to be entered manually. Hosts files would require a tremendous amount of effort to keep up to date. |
