DDNS

[Maguire, Jean (Gexpro, consultant)]

It appears that the reverse zone file gets lots of broken entries when
running ddns.  The straight zone file appears to be updating find but
not the reverse zone:

                         PTR     GEX-VMWARE-56.gesdom1.ad.gesupply.com.

Are you sure that MS DHCP server sends correct DDNS updates (I mean that
DHCP wants delete proper reverse record). If yes logging information on
named side is your best friend. See why is update refused etc.
