Based on RADIUS User-Names? This is dumb. The NAS should at *least* assign names based on a VSA. Using the User-Name is wrong.
Here's the full scoop then: This "NAS" is a tunnel broker. When you bring up a tunnel, you get an endpoint allocated to you. The tunnel broker then registers that address against your name in an appropriate domain. If you are "fred", it will register "fred.domain" for you, with an forward record mapping the name to the allocated address. It also registers the allocated address in the appropriate reverse zone, with a reverse record mapping the address to the name.
Nice... but there's no reason to *rely* on the User-Name.
So I'm thinking turn off the broken functionality in the NAS, and let the RADIUS server do the updates. It has all the information it needs except the nameserver to talk to, which could be configured into this hypothetical module or script.
Exactly. For now, it's best to write a script. Alan DeKok.
