Hello ,

Is it possible to use external dhcp server , instead of dnsmasq .
I am using openstack essex, with vlan manager as network,  I have a need
where i need to implement dynamic dns,
so using dhcp3 as dhcp-server and bind9 as dns is possible.

Or is there any way in openstack i can implement dynamic dns in openstack.

One more problem which i am facing , dnsmasq has a option to assign static
ip to a particular hostname using dhcp-host
parameter in dnsmasq config file.

i tried it doing by defining  the config file of dnsmasq in nova.conf

--dnsmasq_config_file=/etc/nova/dnsmasq.conf

then in dnsmasq config file

i gave options for a particular subnet.


dhcp-range=Tenant-operator,10.0.50.3,10.0.50.254,255.255.255.0,24h
dhcp-option=Tenant-operator,6,10.0.50.7
domain=operator.com,10.0.50.0/24,local
dhcp-host=importantmachine,10.0.50.120

these all options are working except dhcp-host.

Can anybody help me with this.
