Ok - I'll byte - throw me a bone please.
Is there a faq, how-to on this?
I know how to set up dns servers & dhcp servers and obviously edit
/etc/hosts but apparently I lack the big picture. If the ip address is
only known to dhcpd.leases, how does the dns server know? Is this
dynamic dns? Adding them to dns records instead of /etc/hosts seems to
be the same work - just a different location. Do I have something
sitting in my 9cd pack of RH7.1 server that I am not learned enough to
recognize?
Thanks,
Craig
