Description Jeff Ames 2005-05-25 09:08:08 UTC

The home router howto says to use "ddns-update-style ad-hoc" with dhcpd, but
the dhcpd.conf man page says "The ad-hoc Dynamic DNS update scheme is now
deprecated and does not work."  It seems this should be "ddns-update-style interim" instead.

Yeah... the setting for no DDNS is:

ddns-update-style none;

This has bitten me many times. :-/
