Yeah, that's sort of orthogonal to what I'm trying to do. I want to set
the IP and hostname from the server based on the client's MAC, rather
than giving the client an IP based on what it thinks its hostname is.

I'm setting up a small diskless cluster, and I want all the
administration to be server-side. It already works fairly well with
dynamic DHCP, but I'd really prefer static.

Thanks,
Donnie
