I am looking to use the update-conflict-detection false;

the dhcpd.conf.
It is supported in EL6 or and dhcp >=3.1.0a1.
Since I am not going to get permission to switch to EL6 or dhcp 3.1 what are my options?
Background:
I have a DNS/DHCPD system which its conf files are
generated automagically.
Depending on which network a device is on the ip address
will change.
It is always required to have an A record for every device.
I see my only 2 possible options to be:
1, trick dhcpd into thinking that the records in dns are
its, hence updatable.
2, backport the update-conflict-detection false logic into dhcp-3.0.5-23.el5_5.2
Set A records, and PTR's, for the addresses in your DHCP range. The client becomes "dhcp-0-101.example.com" for IP address 10.0.0.101 in the first DHCP range, and "dhcp-1-101" for IP address 10.0.1.101 in the second range.
Thank you, but the issue I am tackling is that dhcpd is trying to validate a dhcid against the dns zone. And the records are either missing or invalid (depending on my efforts so far tonight).
Any suggestions?
TIA
