No, you didn't get me right. I don't WANT to assign hostnames. Those IP
addresses are from a dynamic range with a netmask 255.255.0.0 and I don't
want to assign 65536 different hostnames.
The IP address is used today to create a server that is shipped tomorrow.
And in a week the IP address is used to repair a handheld data entry
system. And next month it might be used for another thing.
So having hostnames, even artifical ones like ip16-145.mn-solutions.de is
not what I want.
Instead, for me it's ok if all 16 servers I'm configuring get the same
hostname. They are installed into some customers network and they don't
care about hostname or, if they care, assign their own name.
