kerberos dynamic DNS and the internal DNS server

[Helmut Hullen]

Hallo, Kai,

Du meintest am 28.12.11:

Hmmm - may be a wrong decision ...

>> What about your plans for an internal nameserver?

> XP clients work just fine for me. The second missing feature is

Ah - sounds very good!
Thank you!

Viele Gruesse!
