=====dhcp2dnrd: a smoothwall dns updater===== ===2001.05.01=== Okay, the first release of dnrd2dhcp is here. ===History=== It was designed to be used on a http://smoothwall.org smoothwall box, which is a dial-up router/firewall w/ dns proxy and dhcp. Thus, I wanted to be able to access computers on my lan via dns that were being served thru dhcp. So, I wrote a perl script to do it. ===Function=== This is how it works: ~-Goes through dhcpd.leases file and finds latest leases/ip and their hostname ~-reads in current hosts file ~-updates hosts file w/ hostnames and ips from dhcpd.leases file ~-restarts dns server (dnrd, in this case) That's about it. No documentation yet (wait - see below). Oh, and it requires the Class::Date perl module. Email me with any questions you have. ===Download=== http://www.silfreed.net/download/progs/dhcp2dnrd.pl v0.1.0 ===Update 2003.02.20=== ===Documentation=== Well, not by me, but any documentation is good, right? I found this site while looking through my referer logs, and thought others looking for this tool would probably be intersted. I had forgotten how difficult it was to get Class::Date on my smoothwall box - heh. http://www.kryogenix.org/writings/tech/dhcp-dns-smoothwall Documentation for DHCP2DNRD ---- CategoryProjects
