I have set up a dhcp server on my FreeBSD box. Works fine as in the correct IP address is assigned to a computer.

But I constantly get this message (in intervals ranging from 10-40 minutes):

Code:
Aug 20 22:39:04 toybox dhcpd: if IN A friedward.planbau.net rrset doesn't exist add 1800 IN A friedward.planbau.net 10.0.0.14: not a zone
toybox is my server (FreeBSD), friedward a client (Win2k). The server's IP is 10.0.0.4, the client's 10.0.0.14.

There is also a name server (bind) running on the machine which works fine -- lookups via dig and nslookup return the correct results.
The Windows box also finds the name server.

I have read through the man pages of dhcpd and dhcpd.conf respectively. The only mention of rrset is in a passage about the interaction of a dhcp and a name server in the context of dynamic updates. I have disabled them in my dhcpd.conf, but to no avail. Any clues?

Looks like BIND may not be configed properly. How has the admin setup you local domain zones?

I have set up the zone .planbau.net. as usual. I will post the config files later tonite, but the scheme is as follows:

10.0.0. <---> .planbau.net.
127.0.0.1 <---> localhost
deny all other traffic by using dummy files (the server is not connected to the internet).

The service itself works fine, the IP addresses are not explicitly included in the dhcpd.conf, the host declarations there include the MAC addresses only to make sure that the hostname is assigned correctly to the right computer. (In the beginning I had both, but removed the declaration: fixed-address in the host description of dhcpd.conf.)
