Easy, use Avahi. If these machines are Ubuntu, you probably already have it. But if not, one of these should install it: apt-get install avahi-daemon yum install avahi Verify that you can ping each machine as "hostname.local". Then use that as either the Host or ClientNameAlias for each server. Regards, Tyler -- "When a claim is falsified in science [...], it is discarded. It is put in the trashbin of bad ideas.
