DNS on IBM i (Was Re: DHCP on the AS/400)

Tom,

What do you find difficult about DNS on i? The GUI is very nice for
setting up or maintaining the thing. If you don't like that simply edit
the text files in the IFS the way Unix propellerheads do as it's simply
BIND under the covers. It's easy to set up primary secondary
relationships. You can run multiple servers on the same machine. It does
forwarding, logging, static and dynamic updates etc. It even works as the
DNS server in an active directory environment.

Re: DHCP on the AS/400






This is one of the few programs without green-screen parity. You will have

to use OpsNav/iSeriers Navigator/whatever to configure it.
You can use CHGDCPA to set it to autostart, but that is about it.
I haven't used it, but I hope it is easier to use than the AS/400 DNS
server.

Does anyone use DHCP on the AS/400? How is it configured? Can I turn it on

"out of the box" and expect it to work?

Thank,
