My approach is to remake the /etc/HOSTNAME by copying replacements
overwriting it with files containing the different name/address
configurations I would need. Also I have one liner files contain an
IP address to complete the variable substitutions as indicated below:
DEVICE=eth0
HOSTN=`cat /etc/HOSTNAME | cut -d"." -f1`
IPADDR=`cat /etc/myaddr.${HOSTN}`
NETWORK=`cat /etc/mynet.${HOSTN}`
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST=192.168.2.255
ONBOOT=yes
For this to work the HOSTNAME replacement must be done before the
next reboot that would need the new setup. This is perfect for my
use of my laptop in different locations across the country that I
may be required to which I must travel.
