Although I have not tried it, I believe that you can use DHCP then (for example)
export DISTCC_HOSTS='localhost 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 green blue' where green or blue represent machines in the hosts file Regards, Robert -----Original Message----- From: Brad Beveridge [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 16 June 2003 3:00 p.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: distcc methods for gentoo installfest I've done a very simple distcc set up with just static ip addresses & 2 machines. I used the ip addresses in the DISTCC_HOSTS variable - DISTCC_HOSTS = "192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2" I'm keen to help out, but the above is the limit of my knowledge :) Anybody (was it Nick?) running more than 2 machines will likely be more help than I.
