I had a go at getting dynamic DNS working and failed.
The way that I managed to get this working was to write a perl script that
monitors (tail -f basically) the DHCPD logs and then edits the client config
file and forces the director to reload.
This method also means that I can trigger other actions when a user's laptop
is connected, such as updating my inventory database, triggering bacula
backup jobs depending on which subnet (site) the laptop is on.
If you're interested, I could post some code.
That's one option, however my bacula server and my DHCP server are not the same box. So I'd rather have a solution that I can just specify both addresses and then use the reschedule job options for when the computer is offline.
