I have assigned my self a hard task - in terms of my skill level.

I've been doing research in to the commonants that I can build it out of that already exist.

I've posted messages to LARTC and DNSMasq mailing lists as well as here on CLUG.

Of far I've identified that most of the requirment can be delivered using IPTables and DNSMasq.


DNSMasq has an option --dhcp-script

Simon Kelly write "The MAC address and IP address and name of the host are passed to the script."

Question Time...

A simple question I'm sure, but I just don't know what the answer is...

In a script, how do I see the parameters that are being passed in?

Is it %1, %2, %3 ?


IPTables has an 'account' option.  Has anyone used it?

Has anyone used the mac filtering options?

I have read the help on the netfilter site, but don't 100% understand it.

I can follow up to do a single filter on a single mac, but I want to add lots of macs, do I just add each one as a rule?

Can anyone comment on the rule over head? How much ram am I going to need if I've got 300 macs in the table?

Cheers Don
