<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have a question regarding the domain used for Dynamic DNS
updates. If I read the man page (and the code) correctly, it appears that
the domain portion of the FQDN determined by the server is always taken from
either the configured domain-name option (15) or the ddns-domain-name
policy. The hostname portion of the FQDN is derived from either the
hostname option (12) supplied by the client or the leftmost label of the FQDN
option (81). That is, any domain provided by the client in the FQDN
option (81) is essentially ignored by the server when performing the DDNS
update.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>1. Is that correct?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>2. If so, that does _<i>not</i>_ violate section 4 of
RFC 4702, as all references therein related to this are defined as MAY.
However, I was simply wondering if there was any plans to support additional behavior
in the server to use the client’s notion of the domain, or if there are
any other workarounds that may be available.<o:p></o:p></p>
