I'm trying to get the Windows DDNS update sequence straight in my head. Here's what I think happens:
Windows Client == DHCP Discover
Windows DHCP Server == DHCP Offer
Windows Client == DHCP Request with option 81
{Client is requesting DHCP server to register reverse
PTR record and offering to register its own A record}
Windows DHCP Server == DHCP Acknowledge with option 81
{Server agrees and updates the client's PTR record on
the DNS server}
Windows Client == DHCP client updates A record on DNS server.
What happens when the DHCP server is configured to register DNS A records on the client's behalf whether the client requests this or not? Does the client still attempt to update the DNS server directly?
