I think you want an IP there, not a hostname.
chrs, john.
As long as `nslookup client02` returns an ip address, that format will work. (It does make DHCP dependent on DNS being up and running, which can potentially cause problems -- if the DNS server goes down for longer than the lease time, any machines with dynamic addresses will lose their network connectivity.)
