The way I do this is to have dhcpd assign the entire 10.0.0.x address
range to the home network, and certain machines (actually certain MAC
addresses) always receive the same IP.
Rather simple, really. Too bad that dnsmasq doesn't understand
/etc/dhcpd.conf and instead relies on /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases
for its information. I'll probably have to end up adding all the
names by hand.
=================== /etc/dhcpd.conf =======================
