I am looking to use the update-conflict-detection false; directive in 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 Any suggestions?
