One simple way might be to use 'ping -b 10.0.3.255' first to fill the
ARP cache, and then use 'arp -a' to get a list of DNS names and MAC
addresses.  This will only get the ones currently online.

Another is to extract it from sitesummary, see
<URL: http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Sitesummary_tip__Listing_MAC_address_of_all_clients.html >
for the recipe.  This will give a list of all sitesummary clients.

I'm not sure how to get it from LDAP, but I suspect it is possible
too.

I hope the reply is useful, even if it do not answer exactly what you
asked for.

Happy hacking,
