[PLUG] DNS trouble shooting and DHCP/DNS connection


I have 2 questions about DNS:
1. I have LinkSys NR041 router which has DHCP server
running. How do a DNS server get dynamic ip address
from this DHCP server?
2. I have a hostname xyz defined in DNS. At DNS
client, I can ping xyz.mydomain.com. However I can't
ping xyz. Error message: ping: unknown host xyz.

Here is my XXX.forward file:$TTL    86400
@       IN      SOA     mydomain.com.
linuxserver1.mydomain.com.  (
                                      1997022700 ;
