Do Not Use Dynamic DNS To prevent the DHCP server from receiving DNS information from clients, edit '/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf', and add or correct the following global option: 'ddns-update-style none;' The Dynamic DNS protocol is used to remotely update the data served by a DNS server. DHCP servers can use Dynamic DNS to publish information about their clients. This setup carries security risks, and its use is not recommended. If Dynamic DNS must be used despite the risks it poses, it is critical that Dynamic DNS transactions be protected using TSIG or some other cryptographic authentication mechanism. See dhcpd.conf(5) for more information about protecting the DHCP server from passing along malicious DNS data from its clients.
