Excellent idea. I've been looking @ /var/log/messages which has been
very helpful, but perhaps some more detail would help.

I'll dig around a bit on the clients and see if I can figure it out; if
not I can always ask on the respective lists for specifics on each.

Yep, thats how I have normally in the past implemented fixed leases on
things like a wifi router, etc. I got kind of excited at the notion of
*not* having to find the MAC addresses for everything, and then a little
disappointed when it didn't quite work out. Being as its for a virtual
LAN there isn't a whole lot of urgency if I don't get it working today
or tomorrow (or else I'd have already entered the MAC addresses ;) ) so
I'm going to try ironing out this way first.
Thanks,
