Hi there I am running a VMWare Server 2 on Ubuntu Jaunty and 2 Debian (testing) clients in it, which get their IP address automatically (and variably) through DHCP. The latter does work without a clitch. Unfortunately, I cannot access the two clients through hostname, even though they are provided by the clients when they get their IP address, judging from the hostname entries in "/etc/vmware/vmnet8/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases", since in put "send host-name HOSTNAME;" in "/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf" of the clients. But somehow this information is just not available through DNS (of VMWare).
I know there are other solutions to make sure I get the right host through hostname (e.g. using enries in "/etc/hosts"). But in my case I need the IP address to be flexible/variable and want to identify each client host by their hostname only. I have already searched Google for some time now, without any progress. Maybe someone of you guys has an idea. It would also help to understand VMware's DNS a little better. Cheers Andre -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
