Configuring DNS Dynamic Update Settings on the DHCP Server
DNS Dynamic Update enables DNS clients to dynamically update their resource records in DNS zones. You can specify that the DHCP server in your network dynamically update DNS when it configures a DHCP client computer. This reduces the administration time that is necessary when manually administering zone records. You use the dynamic update feature in conjunction with DHCP to update resource records when a computer releases or updates its IP address.
