Hi,
I am currently having 3 servers in the lan which is using dynamic IP
addresses. Each time the router is rebooted, I have to reconfigure
all the db ips and server ips.
Therefore, I want to assign host name to each machine such as "db" ,
"ser" etc, so that I don't use 192.168.x.x in my configure anymore.
Why not assign ip addresses based on the mac adresses of the
individual machines. Since you don't have a big LAN addressing via /
etc/hosts should work fine for you and you don't need to learn
complicated DNS stuff.
