Unable to add forward map...

[Todd Snyder]

Greetings,

I have almost successfully setup DHCP to update DNS zones on lease, but
in my messages file I am seeing:

Unable to add forward map from sbp6003.china.prov.tools.staging to
172.16.19.61: timed out
No hostname for 172.16.19.61

I've found a couple sites that indicate that this is because dhclient
isn't sending the right information to the server to allow an update
properly.  One says that there isn't a trailing "." after the FQDN.  But
when I look at the dhclient.conf on the server in question, it's
indicating the file is dynamically generated by ifup. The line is here:

send host-name "sbp6003";  # temporary RHL ifup addition

I'm not sure if the problem lies in my dhcp config, or my named config.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated - I've kind of hacked this
together without a full understanding of whats going on, so theres a
good possibility I've missed something obvious :)

Thanks,

Todd.
