      Hi All,
      first sorry for my bad english, but I will try to explain the question…
      In this day I have installed pfsense 2.0 beta (for testing purpose) due to his new support for custom DHCP configuration.
      I wont to setup pfsense's DHCP server in a way that it can update a internal (LAN or DMZ) DNS server (BIND 9 on ubuntu 9.10) using a rndc key.
      Reading some tutorials I found that the dhcpd.conf file should appear similar to this (example only)

      # Basic stuff to name the server and switch on updating
      server-identifier           server;
      ddns-updates                on;
      ddns-update-style           interim;
      ddns-domainname             "localdomain.";
      ddns-rev-domainname         "in-addr.arpa.";
      ignore                      client-updates;
      
      # This is the key so that DHCP can authenticate it's self to BIND9
      key "rndc-key" {
         algorithm   hmac-md5;
         secret	"lgkbhjhtthgtlghtl6567==";
      };
      
      log-facility local7;
      
      subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
          range                       192.168.0.100 192.168.0.200;
          option broadcast-address    192.168.0.255;
          option routers              192.168.0.1;
          allow                       unknown-clients;
      
         zone    0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. {
                  primary 192.168.0.60;
                  key             "rndc-key";
          }
      
          zone    localdomain. {
                  primary 192.168.0.60;
                  key             "rndc-key";
          }
      }
      
      

      This are the directive that I wont to insert, but reading in the register of the custom option http://www.iana.org/assignments/bootp-dhcp-parameters/ I don't find them
      A solution can be install an external DHCP disabling the built in server, but I prefer to manage all inside the box. Is possible to do this in some way?
      Thanks and compliment for the great work
