The Domain Name System (DNS) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) services
provided by the University are critical network infrastructure components. All WKU
network users utilize these services constantly and most do so without ever realizing
it.
In special cases, some clients may require custom DNS or DHCP configurations for a
project. For these instances, a request needs to be placed with the WKU ITS Service
Desk. The request will be routed to the appropriate group and the needs evaluated
on a case by case basis. While such requests are not the most common, they are not
unusual either and well established procedures are in place to care for them in the
most expeditious manner possible.
Please contact the ITS Service Desk for more information.
