I'd use DHCP, but if I did that I would not be able to refer to the machines on my local net by name. Until my DHCP client can update my DNS tables with name information on the fly, I'll keep doing doing it this way. Apple's zeroconf technology solves this problem, albeit in a slightly different way, but Linux doesn't deploy it yet. I don't think my situation is unique. -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/";>Eric S.
