Configuring to Support Child Zones
If you are supporting child zones, you must configure the glue logic or glue
records to associate the child zones with the parent zone.
The parent zone contains a referral to the child zone, meaning that its zone
information contains an Name Server (NS) record that names the zone server
for the child zone and an Address record that specifies the IP address for the
child zone's DNS name server.
When configured, queries to the parent zone for names within the child zone
are returned with the child zone's referral records. The requester can then
query the child zone's name server directly.
Configuring DHCP
To manage an organization's IP address database, you must define the global
address pool in the form of Class A, B, and C network addresses. The
addresses available to a network are managed by the DNS/DHCP
Management Utility and logically organized into the following types of
objects:
 Subnet
 Subnet Address Range
 IP Address
 DHCP Server
 Subnet Pool
The Novell DHCP server views an organization's network as a collection of
DHCP objects.
For DHCP configuration instructions, refer to:
