	Hello,

today I discoverd that my DHCP server doesn't add dynamic host entries
into DNS anymore. Here is the log entry of a DHCP request:

Jul 26 20:43:09 colwyn dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:02:2d:05:26:f6 (catbook) via epic0
Jul 26 20:43:10 colwyn dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.25.198 to 00:02:2d:05:26:f6 (catbook) via epic0
Jul 26 20:43:10 colwyn dhcpd: if IN A catbook.zhadum.de rrset doesn't exist add 43200 IN A catbook.zhadum.de 192.168.25.198: no such domain.
Jul 26 20:43:10 colwyn dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.25.198 (192.168.25.1) from 00:02:2d:05:26:f6 (catbook) via epic0
Jul 26 20:43:10 colwyn dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.25.198 to 00:02:2d:05:26:f6 (catbook) via epic0

But there is not DNS entry afterwards. My "dhcpd.conf" looks like this:

ddns-domainname "zhadum.de";
ddns-rev-domainname "in-addr.arpa";
ddns-updates on;
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;

Dynamic DNS updates work definitely, I can add and remove hosts with
"nsupdate".

	Kind regards
