[c-nsp] DHCP Question

Paul,
Does the DNS Server have the proper entries for this system as well. Most
unix systems using DHCP will take the address given and then query for their
name on the DNS servers to determine that they got the correct address. If
they didn't get the correct information from DNS, they will drop the DHCP
information.
