A static dynamic DNS <G>. Thanks. I'll look at that.

updated?
What may be the easiest thing to do is look at man 5 dhcpd.conf.
You can have dhcpd assign each computer the same IP address everytime,
based on its IP address. Not quite as slick as dynamic DNS, but very
effective, and with the added benefit that your DNS won't get stale if
the DHCP address decides to change.
