#10 Re: Configuring Dynamic DNS & DHCP on Debian Stable Posted by GoodTimes (146.180.xx.xx) on Fri 3 Feb 2006 at 15:24 yes, i mean a static reservation what i do is i have all my machines set to get their info thorugh dhcp. Some of these machines i want on fixed ip addresses (various reasons) but I want them getting their information from dhcp, but i want to make sure that it won't hurt anything. The more I think about it, the more it seems like I would just leave my static configurations the way they are, and just new machines (laptops) that come in and out of my network would possibly change ip address. But where does the hostname come from? I'd assume the hostname configured on the client. For example machine with a hostname of foo contacts dhcp for the athome.network domain, this then gives it ip address ...100 and then there is a dynamic dns entry for foo.athome.network aaron Through correctness comes ease -Chiun -The Destroyer series
