I see...thanks for clearing that up...I suppose it was wishful thinking
(I really need a DHCP server that does what I described).
Is there a way to get the dhcpd to reread the .conf file without
restarting the server. I can write these host entries to the dhcpd.cong
but I don't want everyone to lose their leases or users to experience a
hiccup while the server restarts.
I may have a couple people running through this script at the same time
and wouldn't want them to both restart the server.
Any [more] ideas would be appreciated.
TIA,
Peter
