Apologies if this isn't the correct forum.  I'd like to configure

the

hostnames.  That way I can refer to all my machines by name in all
databases and I can avoid hardcoding IP addresses.  I know Windows  
allows
name-based recognition even in the instance you're using DHCP, but  
I'd like

it to work more generally with any type of machine on the network.

The problem is, when I search for terms related to this, I get hits  
for
DynDNS and all that stuff which is /not/ what I want.  I'm not  
trying to

update a remote DNS record.  This is just a local thing.

If there's a lightweight DNS server that comes with a DHCP daemon,  
that

would be fine too.  I just need to know where to start.


Try the following; it is for DHCP and BIND9...

 Postings via mx1.freebsd.org come in with no problem at all. Does
 someone knows what is going on?
I am not sure what is going on, either. Over the last few days, I have
seen similar behaviour on my F7 server running exim. The messages
eventually do make it out of the machine and get to me, just not usually
on the first attempt.
