Integrating DHCP & DNS (Or WINS)?

Posted by Cliff on from the creative-name-resolution dept.

smcavoy asks: "Hello, I am working on a growing network (30+ now, more added daily!). We do a lot of development on Linux (Redhat/Debian) and use Remote X a lot. Currently the network is all static IPs, each server has a /etc/hosts file, containing all name/ip mappings. I am looking to use DHCP to make it easier to add systems quickly, but we use many scripts that use system names for remote displays (xterm -display [systemname]:0). So I need to integrate name resolution with DHCP. Any Ideas?"

    If you're using Debian, apt-get install dhcp-dns. Otherwise, check the above URL.
