When you run "drblpush -i", there is a step that allows you to collect the MAC addresses of client machines. Say yes to that and follow the interactive steps to finish that. Once you have done that, you will get a text file, and the next step will ask you if you want to provide the static IP addresses for clients, say "yes" to that and enter the file name (the default file name should match the one you have collected).
