Netware DHCP -> IRIX DDNS

Hi,

I'm a newbie, so please be patient with me...

 We are about to introduce dynamic DNS into our network which consists of
many LANs connected through a WAN. We have a choice between a Unix nd
Novell netware solution. Both platforms implements the service with a
version of bind 8. All our existing DHCP servers are based on Netware.

Our Netware admins claim that there is no way for these servers to update
a Unix DNS master. Do anybody know if this claim is correct? Have they
overlooked something?

A clear advantage for a netware solution is the support for replication of
the DNS database. However if we choose a Unix solution, and our WAN go
down, will the DHCP servers be able to update the Unix DNS master with
changes since the break occured or will DHCP service grind to a halt due
to lack of names from the master server?

Any pointers what so ever will be highly appreciated.
