Dnsmasq is a DHCP and DNS server combined. As I mentioned before, Ican't use a DHCP server.

Hi,

I'm planning to install an image of Debian to a number of computers.
Each of these computers will have the same configuration except the
hostname and the IP address.  The IP configuration has to be static. I
can't use a DHCP server.

QUESTION; Is there a way to assign a hostname and a static IP address at
boot time depending on the MAC address of the computer's network
interface card?


I use dnsmasq for exactly this purpose (my home lan is quite small
though). Works quite well.
