It seems like on Wed, Jul 19, 2000 at 10:03:38AM -0700, Tim M. Sanders scribbled: Taken from: man dhcpd.conf ================= fixed-address address [, address ... ]; The fixed-address statement is used to assign one or more fixed IP addresses to a client. It should only appear in a host declaration. If more than one address is supplied, then when the client boots, it will be assigned the address which corresponds to the network on which it is booting. If none of the addresses in the fixed-address statement are on the network on which the client is boot- ing, that client will not match the host declaration con- taining that fixed-address statement. Each address should be either an IP address or a domain name which resolves to one or more IP addresses. example: host joe { hardware ethernet 08:00:2b:4c:29:32; fixed-address joe.fugue.com; option host-name "joe"; } As you can see in Figure 2, it's legal to specify host addresses in parameters as domain names rather than as numeric IP addresses. If a given hostname resolves to more than one IP address (for example, if that host has two ethernet interfaces), both addresses are supplied to the client. ================= Jean Francois Sends...
