I am running a little DHCPD/DNS/SQUID server, and after enabling logwatch, I started receiving e-mails in the morning about the following errors :
Dec 18 19:58:06 home dhcpd: Forward map from computername.home.silverhawk.net to 10.0.0.6 FAILED: Has an address record but no DHCID, not mine.
The computername is not a generic DHCP client - it is a host with a statically assigned address. This message is somewhat annoying. To remediate this, I have now added a "ddns-update-style none;" to each host with a static address, e.g. :
host computername {
hardware ethernet 00:25:8c:7f:ef:01;
fixed-address 10.0.0.6;
ddns-update-style none;
}
I may just turn off the dynamic updates all together. I am not sure they are as important as I initially thought. We'll see if this will swallow the error first, though.
