Linux clients are not registered in DNS using MS 2008 R2 DHCP and DNS servers


i have mixed network of windows , linux clients , using windows 2008 r2 server both dhcp , dns service on network. dns servers on dcs , dhcp server operating on different server (a cluster actually.) on dhcp server i've set dns tab dynamically update dns , ptr records  (dns dynamic updates enabled,) discard , ptr records when lease deleted, , dynamically update dns , ptr records dhcp clients not request updates (just turned latter option on today.) not using name protection.

the problem linux clients not getting hostnames registered. mac's working fine windows clients, no dynamic linux clients in dns. i've tried setting dns accept both secure , insecure updates, really, shouldn't matter here since updater ms dhcp server, trusted source, correct?

i've tried various things on linux clients (all rhel variants,) ensuring dhcp_hostname set in ifcfg file, making sure hostname set properly, etc., none have solved problem.

aside actual solution, can suggest way debug this, monitoring dhcp dialog between client , ms dhcp server or dhcp dns server requests?

linux, other operating systems, follow industry standard dynamic dns updates.

windows dhcp works other dhcp servers, depends on how have dhcp configured.

this might understand what's involved dynamic updates:
