That actually should be no problem at all. However, I did not try it yet. You might want to take a look into RedHat's init scripts that do DHCP. When I tried out RedHat a few weeks ago, I was impressed that RedHat not only accepted the IP number offered by DHCP but also did a reverse DNS lookup and set the host name to what was stored in the DNS. However, I was not able to actually understand these scripts. Doing stuff like that should be possible with Debian too. Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
