What you can do is that in addition to dhcp, you can put in dynamic dns support. This can be done with bind8 or 9 and isc-dhcpd2 or 3. See dhcpd's man pages for more info. Hope that helps. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of doug > Sent: Tuesday, 17 July 2001 8:37 AM > To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Microsoft host names > > > Hi, > > I'm using a freebsd box as a SSH gateway to VNC running on our windows > computers in our lan. > > I want this to work like: > > ssh -L 5900:microhost:5900 mybsdbox.com <-- but this don't work. > I have to > do this: > ssh -L 5900:10.4.0.189:5900 mybsdbox.com <--this is a pain in > ass but does > work. > > Now, host file won't work cuz we use dhcp.
