However, after a few days from a boot, the static aliases on the LAN vanish. Since I only have very infrequent access to it I can't say for sure what happened. The logs seem to indicate that the interface went down and then came back up. However, some of the static aliases were gone. This is a bit of a guess as to when it happened. I have dhclient.conf set with entries like:

When building a computer, I normally have the installer create the DHCP
client stuff and then I create fixed leases on the DHCP server.
