I have several PCs/LapTops accessing the Internet through a wireless router (Linksys WRT54G). It also acts as a DHCP server presenting each connected PC with an IP-address. For Internet access it works flawlessly but I have other application which access the PCs on the LAN, such as back-up programs (Bacula).

For the last sort of applications I need to have either a static IP-address or an allways correct association between workstation name and its IP-address (/etc/hosts). It so happens that if the configuration (in terms of connected PCs/LapTops) remains static then the boxes get the same IP-address each time they connect to the router. This is, however, not allways true if the configuration is dynamic (many different PCs and not allways the same).

I feel that what I really need is a DSN on the LAN which is being updated each time a box connects to the router and gets an IP-address. I have noticed that some people disable the DHCP server in their router and establesh a DHCP server in one of connected PCs, but I don't see how that can be accomplished and what happens if that server is taken out of the network?

Is there a way out of this problem?

You might have a look at this thread:

The original question is almost exactly the same as what you're asking about. Most of the two possible solutions are described.

Cheers,
