I know from a few years ago, the ISC dhcp server allowed you to reserve your
mac address and a hostname with in a IP list in a subnet range. So then the
dhcpagent would pick up the IP and name and set the hostname on the client, but
OpenSolaris dhcp server and dhcpagent is not the same, so you could try it with
and setup OpenSolaris dhcp server, GUI was down in the /usr/sadm dir somewhere
then run the gui to set it up a rangle and a reservie on your subnet, make sure
the svcs services dhcp server is running (it's been a while, once I get my
snv_b70 running I can try it this week). I had tried it with a netgear dhcp
server on a 624 wireless router in trying to use it's dhcp server by reserve
hostname to the Solaris dhcpagents mac address so the dhcpagent on Solaris
fails to pick up the hostname. ironically between snv_59 to snv 66 (one of
thoses worked and 10u4beta public test version worked but the reserve would not
always take due to some type of dhcp session id variable) with Timewarner cable
dhcp server in with its fall back dhcp server, as long as your cable or dsp
modem does not block the ports it should work from what I was told, but there
has been a lot of IP6 changes lately. I also want to test it again.
