Hi Paul, What you want is DNS. I use an embedded router which runs DNSmasq. This provides both DHCP and DNS. It always matches hostnames (from DHCP requests) to DNS names, as well as reverse records. Thus my BackupPC server can just look for "ssss12" and find it, on whatever IP it has. You might consider it. You can do the same setup with BIND and DHCPd, but it is a lot more work to set up. The alternative is to use BackupPC's "DHCP" setting in /etc/backuppc/hosts. This causes BackupPC to scan the IP range for the host itself.
