I've been reading the solaris express docs, and I'm having a hard time finding the info that will help me determine the best way to do this.
I want to have several machines, with Static IP addresses, but which request and receive all their information (hostname, IP, gateway, etc.) from DHCP at boot time, instead of getting it from local files. I also want these hostnames to resolv through DNS. However, since the addresses are static, I'd prefer to not use Dynamic DNS. I'd prefer the DNS server to be the authority on what IP is associated with a particular hostname. If I can I'd like to only tell the DHCP server what hostname is associated with each MAC address, and have the DHCP server resolve the hostname to an IP before sending a reply. Is that possible? I haven't seen anything in the documentation about it. Also for this static IP situation, do I want to setup 'permanent' or 'reserved' leases? Where do I create them in DHCPmgr, in all the dialog boxes I've tried, the hostname field is unchangeable. -Kyle _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
