David,

You can easily set DHCP reservations as long as you have the MAC address of the 
devices.  AstLinux supports that nicely.

Network Tab --> Configure DNS Hosts.

Enter your information and dnsmasq will handle it from there.

I thought so.  Its going to be a headache... I have 20+ devices with hardcoded 
IP's in the 192.168.1.xx subnet... and yes, these are things that I don't want 
to be on DHCP, like printers, cameras, wireless access points, NAS server, VoIP 
to Analog, etc.  Maybe there are a couple of things I could switch to DHCP, but 
still a lot left.  Yuk.

David,

Yes, it would be a great idea to use something other than 
192.168.0.0/24<http://192.168.0.0/24> or 192.168.1.0/24<http://192.168.1.0/24>. 
 I have a scheme where each of my clients gets a different subnet (unless they 
had something previously configured).  Figure when I run out of subnets, I'll 
have bigger problems ;)

Now that I have OpenVPN running, it occurs to me that I might run into a 
problem.  If I am at a friends house whose local network is also 192.168.1.xx 
and my network at home is 192.168.1.xx then the OpenVPN client would get 
confused/would not know what to do. Right?

If this is the case, and as 192.168.1.xx is a very common subnet -- being the 
default for a lot of consumer routers, then it would make sense for me to 
change my home network to something a little more obscure like 192.168.yy.xx 
where yy is a random number in the, oh lets say 128 to 255 range.  Or even take 
it into the 10.xx.yy.zz subnet?

Thoughts?

David
