Dynamic DNS Key problems

Greetings,
I am noticing that sometimes server regenerates DNS Key and registers new generic host name on my IP address without being asked to do so.
Can anyone familiar with the code explain why it happens and how to avoid it? I have a suspision it may be related to LocalHostname line but not sure.
Compiled latest development edition - same behaviour.
Please advise.

Thank you, this link confirms my observations. However I don't like server generating new key every time host name changes. I am running in a test environment where host name is new every time the test is launched and would like to disable the feature. That is why I was calling for code experts.

I would like to avoid polluting softether DNS database with bogus entries.

Sure, in the config change it to 'true'.

Code: Select all

	declare DDnsClient
	{
		bool Disabled false

I don't want to disable DDnsClient. I would like to eliminate host name change check during my tests. Where it is in the code?

in DDNS.c file
