Or ... you could set up your dhcpd.conf file to recognize each system
by it's hardware address and set up a separate entry for each machine
so that it always gets a specific IP address. For example:
host nebula {
hardware ethernet 00:50:e4:ba:1c:22;
fixed-address nebula;
option routers 192.168.220.1;
option domain-name-servers 207.69.188.185, 207.69.188.186, 207.69.188.187;
option domain-name "foo.com";
default-lease-time 604800;
max-lease-time 2592000;
}
In this case "nebula" is an entry in the /etc/hosts file. You can
then install that host file on your 4 hosts. Since it's only 4 hosts,
it's not too much to keep track of and maintain. Not as elegant as
the BIND method, but it works for small installations.
