Chris,
Very interesting. I've never used DHCP for anything other than guest
subdomains for transient systems (which we have a lot of during
conferences and meetings almost daily -- so this is a must for us). To
handle the same problem you mention I designate names and host details
at install time by having a script ask for the next name and address in
the convention chain and generate the kickstart and touch DNS to
activate whatever names are up. I suppose its the pre-plan way around
the same problem without getting into dynamic network land.
I'm glad that it seems to work out well for you. I've got a lot more
confidence in the way that network autoconfiguration tools can work with
IPv6, and am looking into using those features there -- but I'm still
just a little sketchy on IP4 DHCP.
