I don't think it is. What I would do is install a DNS server (eg bind9), and in /etc/dhcpd.conf put a line like: option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.4; and then configure the bind to serve the mappings you want. (you'll need seperate files for reverse mappings) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
