Features Dynamic DNS Updates Enables administrators to update their DNS services with the correct IP addresses and host names - supporting applications such as secure web servers that access DNS information. Fully supports RFC 2136 for standards-based updates. Next Generation supports all options necessary for broadband modems, including option 82 and options 137-139.
Organizations can also define vendor-specific and custom options as needed.
Next Generation enables administrators to interrupt the DHCP lease process and insert customized routines. Network administrators can increase the security of a dynamic environment by requiring different methods of authentication before computers receive a legal IP address. Only DNS and DHCP servers with the shared secret key are able to send signed updates between servers. Meta IP enables efficient management of the secret keys, reducing the cost of implementation when compared to Windows 2000 and other solution.
