I have a Belkin N1 wireless router with a mix of wireless and wired

wireless FreeBSD machine, -current wpi driver in the works, and a
wireless windows machine.
The wired FreeBSD machines get leases with dhclient. Looking at the
router with seamonkey, I can see the leases for all the machines.
Do I have to manually create/maintain /etc/hosts on each FreeBSD
machine to use names to access the other machines on the local
network?
Is there a tool to extract lease information from the router?
You could write something with curl or wget easily enough, but for
that kind of situation, you're better off setting up a dhcpd on one
of the machines and allocating fixed IPs to the MAC addresses of the
boxes you care about. From there, you can either set up a static
hosts file which matches the DHCP assignments, or set up local DNS.
