Yup :)

It seems the problem resolved itself now. CVS checkout works like a
charm.

We want to store all DNS info in an LDAP server, as little info as
possible stored on the DNS and DHCP servers.

The DHCP server itself stores all information in LDAP as well, with the
dhcpd.conf file only containing information about which LDAP server to
use.

With that in mind we want our DHCP server to update DNS stored in LDAP,
by sending a ddns-update to the DNS server. 

Is there any way to accomplish this at the moment with PowerDNS?	

mvg,
Remco
