Mosix is getting the IP of the machine based on the value from $hostname. If I use a static IP for the terminal and pass the hostname using "option hostname "ws251" for example everything works. I copied the hosts file from the server to /opt/lts/i386/etc/hosts. No dynamic address is needed. each ip address is setup in the nameserver. I doesn't matter to me what hardware address gets what ip address. Each terminal just needs to know the hostname for the ip address it got.
Hope this helps.
