DHCP is fine to configure your interfaces dynamically, but has two issues: 1. you need to run a DHCP server on all locations 2. (re)configuring named, nis, nfs, etc. requires hacking scripts (as you said) Maybe I should elaborate on my initial question: I know the config switcher we'd like can be implemented by hacking any number of scripts under /etc, and there are different ways to go about this. I was wondering if anyone had done such a thing before, to avoid duplicate effort. Since quite a few people seem to be interested in this, maybe once a successful solution is found, it should make it into -current?
