dynamic dns updated by dhcpd

[Helmar Pabst]

Hallo,

fortunately i got the bind 8.2.2-5 to run on my solaris 7 machine.

I installed also Version 3 of ISC DHCP Server compiled with the
option --dns-update.
The dhcp Server works fine and gives ip Adresses for the domain
rostock.igd.fhg.de (see my named.conf below) - but he can not
update the dns server.

In the named.conf i put the line 
          allow-update {localhost;};

The DNS and the DHCP Server are on the same machine.
I spent 2 day reading in the mailinglists and other sources but
i found no other ways of configuration. (the documents are
very poor on dhcp/dns update).
How can i trace or debug if anything occurs on my system
concerning the updates.
Is my configuration wrong or unsufficient ???
Have i to configure something on my dhcp server ?

Thanks in advance for any help ... Helmar
