How does a linux DHCP machine inform DNS of its name and obtained address

02-01-2012, 02:06 AM

I am using a number of DHCP devices on a network. Working fine with
CentOS 5 x86_64.
My question is now how do I tell the DNS (after I get my DHCP address)
about my devices
name and IP address so that others can find me by my machine name?

I thought that was an automatic thing - but it appears not.

Thanks,

Jerry

I wrote this years ago, so it might need updating, but the basics should
still be the same.
