Greetings all;

in the docs (thanks for hiding them & doing away with manpages) it says:
-------
To make the DHCP server in the Debian package isc-dhcp-server send NTP
server
information, add a line like the following at an appropriate place:

     option ntp-servers ntp1.foo.bar, ntp2.foo.bar;
----------
now I assume the foo.bar is to be replaced by something unique [...]

The whole thing is supposed to be a resolvable host name for your client,
i.e. either something your client can look up in the DNS, something in
its /etc/hosts, possibly even a naked IP address will do. It's quite
likely the request goes through the resolver (which, BTW, has a man page).

The naked ipv4 address works, I've not added all machines to the printers hosts file, yet...

Cheers
