Dynamic DNS for regional PC communication system and its implementation

We have researched a regional personal computer (PC) communication network system to provide group communication services to people living in regional communities cost-effectively. Any protocol including IP can be used in the system, because bridging services or LAN environments are provided to user s. A new dynamic DNS that interconnects a DNS server and a DHCP server is p roposed. A DNS server is connected with a DHCP server by using PC MAC addre sses, which are managed in a group management server. It achieves automatic address registration and provides a reliable link between DHCP and DNS. We implemented the dynamic DNS on computers and evaluated its operation.
