You can modify your /etc/dhcpd.conf file to add static addresses.I have a small home network running leaf bering as a firewall/NAT router. My network is made up of Linux machines and one Mac OS 9 machine. I am using dhcp to assign internal ips to all of my machines. Right now each machine gets an ip based on boot order and if its old lease it up. So sometimes the ips for the different machines change. I want to know if I will be able to access each machine's services from the other machines just by hostname. For example, I have a test web server setup. I want to be able access that web server from my Mac and Linux machines just by typing 'webserver' in the url of mozilla. How would I go about configuring this?

first modify the range so that the fixed addresses are outside the dynamic address range
range 192.168.1.50 192.168.1.250;
this would permit you to use fixed IPs from 192.168.1.1 - 50 add each client and their nic number set off by curlycues
host hostname {
hardware ethernet 00:a0:cc:d3:23:6a;
fixed-address 192.168.1.1;
}
add as many fixed addresses before the last curlycue
}save
retart dhcpd svi dhcpd restart
if everything works right - backup dhcpd
then add tinydns and list the names in the internal section.
