Two needs come to mind:

  o ssh-ing to one of the machines ... how do I know its address?

  o printing to one of the machines running CUPS ... again, I must
    specify the addr of the print server machine

If you can suggest a way to do these things, I'll be glad to use your
approach rather than having "fixed" addresses ...


Thanks for your comments!
