The best would be to set up a DNS server for your LAN. Short of that, you can set up clients to periodically FTP your master /etc/hosts file via a cron job and 'fetch'. On Windows machines you might be able to FTP (or plain-old copy, if you're running Samba) from a DOS batch file that you run periodically from one of the many schedulers available. --Dan -- Dan O'Connor On Matters of Most Grave Concern http://www.mostgraveconcern.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
