Abstract
In this paper, we propose a technique that realizes the interoperability between Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol(DHCP) and Domain Name System(DNS) over the TCP/IP network. Through the analysis about the IP autoconfiguration mechanism provided by DHCP, the proposal requires only minor protocol extensions which include updating DHCP sever mechanism and DNS server designed to support queries of a dynamically configured database. Additionally, we define new message primitives(using DNS messages) to communicate with these servers. By designing an interoperable DHCP-DNS specification, it provides on advantage that maintains consistency between the host name and the actual IP address allocated by DHCP server. Thus, it will prevent a specific host from leading to confusion by the dynamic allocation of DHCP when it communicates with other mobile hosts.
