Actually, I'd rather populate the /etc/hosts file manually, in order to give the nodes static addresses. I find this is easier in order to identify nodes both by their physical position in the cluster (i.e. rack order) and by their ip address. Then it is also easier to configure additional network interfaces useful for things like a separate network for file servers, etc. The nodes still get their addresses via dhcp. The only drag is to populate the dhcpd.conf file with specific entries for each node, with their static addresses corresponding to their MAC addresses.
