+<title>Features and Benefits</title>
+
+<para>
+There are few subjects in the UNIX world that might raise as much contention as
+Domain Name System (DNS) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
+Not all opinions held for or against particular implementations of DNS and DHCP
+are valid.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+We live in a modern age where many information technology users demand mobility
+and freedom. Microsoft Windows users in particular expect to be able to plug their
+notebook computer into a network port and have things <quote>just work.</quote>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+UNIX administrators have a point. Many of the normative practices in the Microsoft
+Windows world at best border on bad practice from a security perspective.
+Microsoft Windows networking protocols allow workstations to arbitrarily register
+themselves on a network. Windows 2000 Active Directory registers entries in the DNS name space
+that are equally perplexing to UNIX administrators. Welcome to the new world!

+The purpose of this chapter is to demonstrate the configuration of the Internet
+Software Consortium (ISC) DNS and DHCP servers to provide dynamic services that are
+compatible with their equivalents in the Microsoft Windows 2000 Server products.

+The purpose of this chapter is to provide no more than a working example of
+configuration files for both DNS and DHCP servers. The examples used match
+configuration examples used elsewhere in this document.

+This chapter explicitly does not provide a tutorial, nor does it pretend to be
+a reference guide on DNS and DHCP, as this is well beyond the scope and intent
+of this document as a whole. Anyone who wants more detailed reference materials
+on DNS or DHCP should visit the ISC Web sites at <ulink noescape="1" url="http://www.isc.org">

+<title>Example Configuration</title>
+
+<para>
+The domain name system is to the Internet what water is to life. By it nearly all
+information resources (host names) are resolved to their Internet protocol (IP) address.
+Windows networking tried hard to avoid the complexities of DNS, but alas, DNS won.
+<indexterm><primary>WINS</primary></indexterm>
+The alternative to DNS, the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) an artifact of
+NetBIOS networking over the TCP/IP protocols, has demonstrated scalability problems as
+well as a flat non-hierarchical name space that became unmanageable as the size and
+complexity of information technology networks grew.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+WINS is a Microsoft implementation of the RFC1001/1002 NetBIOS Name Service (NBNS).
+It allows NetBIOS clients (like Microsoft Windows Machines) to register an arbitrary
+machine name that the administrator or user has chosen together with the IP
+address that the machine has been given. Through the use of WINS, network client machines
+could resolve machine names to their IP address.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The demand for an alternative to the limitations of NetBIOS networking finally drove
+Microsoft to use DNS and Active Directory. Microsoft's new implementation attempts
+to use DNS in a manner similar to the way that WINS is used for NetBIOS networking.
+Both WINS and Microsoft DNS rely on dynamic name registration.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Microsoft Windows clients can perform dynamic name registration to the DNS server
+on start-up. Alternately, where DHCP is used to assign workstation IP addresses,
+it is possible to register host names and their IP address by the DHCP server as
+soon as a client acknowledges an IP address lease. Lastly, Microsoft DNS can resolve
+hostnames via Microsoft WINS.

+The following configurations demonstrate a simple insecure Dynamic DNS server and
+a simple DHCP server that matches the DNS configuration.

+ The example DNS configuration is for a private network in the IP address
