Very Computer

1.  If it loses connectivity to the internet, I want the server to
switch itself to DHCP client mode to obtain new lease, then have it
set itself up statically with the new info.  To do this , the server
would have to change its eth0 configuration to dynamic setup, and run
dhcpd client deamon to obtain new lease.  Then , it would have to
change the eth0 configuration again to set itself statically.

2.  Modify my named.conf file to update itself to a new ip address (
if the ip changes )

Modify the zone files with the new ip address, and increase the
serial.  I know its a lot of work, but is this possible?  anyone here
attempted on doing this before?

thanks guys
