Forward/Reverse entry necessary for client Macs ?

Hi

Just followed the excellent guide to setting up Tiger server posted on this site. I managed to backup 10.3.9 to a restore image, install this image onto an iMacG5, update it to 10.4 Server, Archive export the LDAP database, then I clean installed the Xserve with 10.4, followed the guide, set my network homes modules up as shares again and imported the archive database. Took 10-15 mins after clean install to get my system back but as 10.4. Thanks

My question: In the guide it says “(for DNS) make sure your clients are on the same page as the server”

Does this mean my client Macs need forward/reverse DNS ? The server is fine. The server and clients use DHCP from a Windows server. The server is forward/reverse and fixed IP, the clients are full auto DHCP, no formal DNS entry, unique computer name i.e. mac1, mac2, mac32, mac54 etc. I do have a specified range for fixed IP for the Mac clients from our Network Manager if needed.

all 10.4.2

Thanks
