Use dhcpcd on the bunch that get their ip-addr's and use dhcpd on the one that acts as the server. dhcp can be used to assign fixed ip addresses for based on the hardware ether net addresses. It is a bit of a pain to set up that way but it works just fine.
I seem to recall some examples in the package. jim ---------- From: Vincent Murphy[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 09, 1998 4:14 AM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Cc: The recipient's address is unknown. Subject: Assigning IP addresses I want to have a bunch of Debian Hamm machines get their IP addresses at boot time based on their ethernet address. These IP addresses are permanent for every machine i.e. each machine will be assigned the same IP address every time it boots. I would like to use another Debian Hamm machine to allocate these IP addresses. How can I do this? Any advice would be much appreciated.
