Hi Remi,
Yes, its possible to specify a range in your dhcpd.conf and have the
workstations get the next available IP address. Just make sure that
each IP you have in the range is either listed in /etc/hosts or in
DNS. My machine is down for an upgrade but I could send you the
dhcpd.conf if you are interested. The lts.conf can be set up with all
the required options under [default].
