Mapping DHCP hosts to DNS

So on most products I've used DNS and DHCP are linked- if a new DHCP lease is given out the DNS server gets updated with the host information allowing everyone using that DNS server to access the host without having to look up the IP address or add a static route.

For example, pfsense (which relies on dnsmasq for dns and dhcp) handles this out of the box. If I bring in a laptop called tedivms_laptop it'll get DHCP and everyone inside the network can access it by "tedivms_laptop" (or "tedivms_laptop.local"). 

How do I set this up with these sophos boxes?

Thanks!

  • Hi, Ted, and welcome to the User BB!

    When posting questions here, you will receive more input if your questions aren't posed from the viewpoint of a product that most here haven't used.  Better to say what you want to accomplish and ask for suggestions.

    Everything that Scott told you is important, and will be valuable to you in the future.

    It's possible that there's an easy answer for your conundrum, but I can't tell.  You might check DNS Best Practice and then continue here.

    Cheers - Bob
