Re: DNS not register with non Windows DHCP

Make sure to have the clients register their own dns.

Configure DNS dynamic updates for DHCP clients
By default, Windows Server 2003-based, Windows 2000-based, and Windows
XP-based DHCP clients are configured to request that the client register the
A resource record and that the server register the PTR resource record. By
default, the name that is used in the DNS registration is a concatenation of
the computer name and the primary DNS suffix. To change this default name,
open the TCP/IP properties of your network connection.

To change the dynamic update defaults on the dynamic update client, follow
these steps:
In Control Panel, double-click Network Connections.
Right-click the connection that you want to configure, and then click
Properties.
Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), click Properties, and then click Advanced.
Click DNS.

By default, Register this connection's address in DNS is selected and Use
this connection's DNS suffix in DNS registration is not selected. This
default configuration causes the client to request that the client register
the A resource record and the server register the PTR resource record.
Click to select the Use this connection's DNS suffix in DNS registration
check box.

The client will then request that the server update the PTR record by using
the FQDN. If the DHCP server is configured to register DNS records according
to the client's request, the client registers the following records:
The PTR record.
The A record that uses the name that is a concatenation of the computer name
and the primary DNS suffix.
The A record that uses the name that is a concatenation of the computer name
and the connection-specific DNS suffix.
To configure the client to make no requests for DNS registration, click to
clear the Register this connection's address in DNS check box.
