I configured my DCHP server to dynamically update DNS records. Do I still need to use the DnsUpdateProxy security group?

i configured dchp server dynamically update dns records. still need use dnsupdateproxy security group? thanks james a+, network+, mcp in perception, it's idea use dnsupdateproxy security group. however, there both advantages disadvantages. use of dnsupdateproxy group offers following advantages , disadvantages: advantages the advantages of using dnsupdateproxy group include: secure dns updates can work multiple dhcp servers:  if dhcp servers added members of dnsupdateproxy group, records of server fails can updated server. upgraded clients can update own records:  the first user not member of dnsupdateproxy group modify set of records associated dns name becomes owner, when earlier version clients upgraded can take ownership of name records @ dns server. disadvantages the disadvantage of using dnsupdateproxy group requires dedicated user account security. dns domain names registered dhcp server not secure when dhcp server member of dnsupdateproxy group
