The Debian package named 'dnsmasq' provides hostname-ip mapping... with
dhcp.
Code:
--------------------
Dnsmasq is a lightweight, easy to configure, DNS forwarder and DHCP
server. It is designed to provide DNS and optionally, DHCP, to a
small network. It can serve the names of local machines which are
not in the global DNS. The DHCP server integrates with the DNS
server and allows machines with DHCP-allocated addresses
to appear in the DNS with names configured either in each host or
in a central configuration file. Dnsmasq supports static and dynamic
DHCP leases and BOOTP/TFTP for network booting of diskless machines.
--------------------
My SBS server has a static IP.. but since it's also the router, that is
expected. Everyhing else on my home network is dhcp.
