By the way.. hybrid: you any knowledge of configuring dynamic DNS, in particular through webmin?

 

I can't seem to get DHCP and DNS talking to each other... not found any good articles on setting it up.

 

(I get the impression that the DHCP side of things creates a DNS zone for you and populates it - but can't find any real detailed info)

 

I'm afraid not -- I've worked with Dynamic DNS, but only really in the Windows world with Active Directory and MS DNS Server, where it does it all for you anyway! I'm sure you've already Googled extensively, but I wonder if this Debian Admin post is useful? Have you also looked into using something like Dnsmasq instead of wrestling with the behemoths that is BIND? Again, not something I've looked into, though.
