In order for a Windows Server 2008 DHCP server using an IPv6 scope�to register on behalf of a client with DNS, there are two options that need to be configured (either at the scope or server level).
�
1.������ Option 23 - DNS Recursive Name Server IPV6 Address List
2.������ Option 24 - Domain Search List
�
If these options are not configured, you may find that even when a client requests the server register on its behalf, that registration never occurs.� Viewing the requests in a network trace will show in the final packet of the DHCP exchange that the server overrides the client request for registration.
�
Example:
�
Client flag values:
��� - Flag: 1 (0x1)
������ MBZ: (00000...) 0
������ N:�� (.....0..) DHCPServer SHOULD perform updates (the PTR RR and possibly the AAAA RR based on the 'S' bit)
������ O:�� (......0.) the server has not overridden the client's preference for the 'S' bit
������ S:�� (.......1) SHOULD perform the AAAA RR (FQDN to address) DNS updates
�
Server response:
��� - Flag: 6 (0x6)
������ MBZ: (00000...) 0
������ N:�� (.....1..) DHCPServer SHOULD NOT perform the any DNS updates
������ O:�� (......1.) the server has overridden the client's preference for the 'S' bit
������ S:�� (.......0) SHOULD NOT perform the AAAA RR (FQDN to address) DNS updates
