You can specify a directory on the server to serve as the root for the
client(s). Y

i don't know how you'd use the MAC to map to a hostname. you
can use it to map to an ip ..but how would you determine

The server doesn't have to export its _own_ /etc - you could have a
se
How about setting up a custom /etc/ for each client... doing something
like:
On NFS server:
==
/etc/
client1/
client2/
client3/
...
On clients:
===
mount :/etc/client /etc/
(where is the client number...)
/etc isn't huge, so having multiple copies isn't a hug

uargh, you're thinking of something like MSs "Active DNS" (or whatever
it's called
Is there some way to have:
- Machine is assigned a DHCP IP
- Use the MAC to map to a hostname and then push the assigned IP into
Bind with the hostname?

I think you are probably right about this.

Several posters have pointed out that I can get DHCP to assign IPs based
on MAC, which goes a long way toward solving my problem. I guess if I
share hosts using ldap, I can still give each machine a unique name, too.
Now the only problem I can think of with sharing /usr and /etc is that my

i can't give a good answer for the rest but this one is easy.
on my home network i tell dhcp to assign static ips via
MAC
I manage a cluster used for computational neuroscience at a University.
The number of machines is starting to get to a point where it is difficult
to maintain software synchronization across machines. Any tips?
I already use LDAP to distribute user and group information and NFS to
share /home dir
