[MLB-WIRELESS] DNS, DHCP, static ip...

I agree with Kim, we need to use the 10.x.x.x range. Just allocate class c
networks to each node which in turn allocate addresses to client pc's using
dhcp (which most AP's can support anyway).
All we need to do is set up a database and online address space allocation
form for node admins to request an address space. Forget about trying to
identify postcodes by the IP, thats what dns is for. We need to get this
sorted out soon so as people are starting to set up, they can do it with a
correct address space. Steven, can we set something like this up on the web
site?

consume has a similar system, the list maintainer updates the file
as folks request a new network range.

for example you could choose for the wireless client access by dhcp;

%10.91.0.0/16 - central melbourne,
 10.91.1.0/24  - bob's wireless nets
%10.92.0.0/16 - northern suburbs,
%10.93.0.0/16 - eastern suburbs,
%10.94.0.0/16 - western suburbs,
%10.95.0.0/16 - geelong and suburbs,

%10.101.0.0/16 - sydney ...
%10.111.0.0/16 - canberra ...
%10.121.0.0/16 - adelaide ...

and for VPN transport/tunnels/backend networks

%172.21.0.0/16 - central melbourne,
 172.21.1.0/28  - bob's VPN and tunnels to other servers
%172.22.0.0/16 - northern suburbs,
%172.23.0.0/16 - eastern suburbs,
%172.24.0.0/16 - western suburbs,
%172.25.0.0/16 - geelong and suburbs,

but its entirely up to you... its a good place to start,
especially if one or two people start to admin the list of IPs
and networks... you need to keep it consistent.

Kim
