Folks,
Here is the announcement of Network Registrar. This software dynamically
control IP addressing and permits control over which addresses are
assigned to which groups of users. In turn, this makes it easier for you
to enforce your security policies while still getting the benefits of
DHCP and DNS.
Regards
Richard

>With the industry's first standards-based DNS/DHCP solution combining
>dynamic DNS updates, DNS Notify, and Incremental Zone Transfers,
customers
>will realize significant reductions in bandwidth consumption on the
network
>and dramatic improvements in the accuracy of IP naming/addressing. With

>Unique Client-class Feature
>
>The client-class feature allows network administrators to customize DHCP
>parameters assigned to clients including which IP addresses are assigned
to
>each client. This key ability to provide a customized user to
>network-address bindings allows differentiated classes of service to be
>defined based on dynamically changing user names, groups, roles or
locations.

>About CiscoAssure Policy Networking
>
>Cisco Network Registrar fulfills the need for a scalable user
registration
>service for CiscoAssure Policy Networking by supporting important
industry
>standards such as Lightweight Directory Access Protocol Version 3
(LDAPv3)
>for integration with standards-based directories. With CiscoAssure,
network
>managers map business application requirements to network policies,
>unlocking intelligence in their networks and significantly reducing the
>complexity of applying network services like Quality of Service (QoS).
Key
>components of CiscoAssure are:
>
>* DNS/DHCP user registration services and LDAPv3-compatible directory
>services offer the unique ability to enable user-based policies, and
>provide scalable replication and synchronization across any
enterprise-wide
>network.
>
>* Application-aware networking protects mission-critical traffic,
allowing
>the network to dynamically recognize applications permitting policy
>enforcement that differentiates classes of traffic.
>
>* Centrally administered policies for QoS, security, multimedia, voice
and
>video services in the network allow simplification of the process of
>translating business requirements into network behavior.
