The DNS on our network is managed by windows domain controllers. I have been managing entries for Linux machines manually but with IPv6 it's getting painful.
Is there a daemon or script that can do this for me? Google hasn't given me any answers yet... Just successfully used `nsupdate` for this purpose.
On the Windows DNS Manager, right-click the zone, hit Properties, and allow "nonsecure and secure" updates.
Then, I could just use `nsupdate` like so from my Linux box:
$ nsupdate
server drinian update add blah.lolcats.local. 120 aaaa 2001:db8::1 send quit
Which then appeared on the Windows zone file. Yep that rings a bell. I know I had done that in the past, but it's been years and I had forgotten, but you've just refreshed my memory. Yep that should work like a charm. :)
I'm sure it will work, but turning off the option that protects your DNS from unsecured updates hardly seems like a good idea... James
