Hi Rowan,<br>
<br>
It is really strange waters to me...I am asking for help in this area.<br>
<br>
My own opinion is that a server should have a static IP and "users"
have dynamically allocated<br>
addresses?<br>
<br>
You are probaly right about the MAC caching, seems sensible. (except
with my ISP!!!!)<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi Mark,
I'd suggest not using DHCP for this as if a connection is lost & then
regained a new (different) ip address may be allocated - thus causing
problems where servers change addresses (and if DNS is in place, more
problems there too) - I'd suggest sticking with static IPs, which is
what Cam and I are planning to do.

It's been a while since I fooled with dhcpd, but doesn't a properly
configured DHCP server cache MAC addresses so it can assign the same IP
each time?
