<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Hi guys,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>thanks for all your previous comments, I've kept studying the issue so I can explain it a bit better now:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) I just want to use AD in my machines, where I manage DNS and DHCP (and PXE!) with dnsmasq.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) AD requires to preferably "support the service (SRV) resource record type and the dynamic update protocol, as described in the RFC 2136" [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc759550(WS.10).aspx], this seemingly is used to insert a few dozen records when installing AD, and there is documentation on the internet on how to use bind instead of the windows dns service. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>3) It is possible also to do it manually, which keeps my hopes of using dnsmasq for it alive: "At the very least, the DNS server must support the SRV resource record; but the SRV resource records can be added to DNS manually. After installing Active Directory, these records can be found on the domain controller in the following location: <EM>systemroot</EM>\System32\Config\Netlogon.dns."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>So my question should have been: Is RFC2136 supported or in the roadmap? (And a "no" for an answer is perfectly understood, the simplicity of dnsmasq is something to be safeguarded).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Cheers,</FONT></DIV>
