BOOTPC(8) Debian GNU/Linux Manual BOOTPC(8)NAME
bootpc - bootp client
SYNOPSIS
bootpc [--bootfile file] [--dev device] [--verbose] [--debug] [--server addr] [--hwaddr addr] [--returniffail] [--waitformore length]
[--in2host addr] [--serverbcast] [--help]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the bootpc command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used
by others), because the original program does not have a manual page.
bootpc is a boot protocol client used to grab the machine's IP address, set up DNS nameservers and other useful information.
OPTIONS --bootfile file
Tell the server to use file as the boot file.
--dev device
Use device to communicate with the server.
--verbose
Be verbose.
--debug
Produce debugging output.
--server addr
Use the IP address addr to communicate with the server.
--hwaddr addr
Use addr as our hardware address rather than what the operating system gives us.
--returniffail
Terminate the program if a failure occurs. By default bootpc will ask the user to press a key if the request did not succeed.
--waitformore length
Wait for more responses when one is received. bootpc will wait for at most length seconds. This is probably only useful for debug-
ging.
--in2host addr
Takes an address and returns useful bits of the name after lookup, this was a separate program, but it is more compact to have both
together.
--serverbcast
Tell the server to send back a broadcast reply. This is necessary on Linux 2.1 and 2.2.
--help Display the usage of bootpc.

Hi all,
I am a newbie of setting up DNS server. Everything went fine except one thing.
When I do "nslookup", my server name apears as "my_server.1.131.10.in-addr.arpa" rather than "my_server.my_domian.com" on my clients. Do you know how to fix it? Thanks. (2 Replies)
