Hi! I have set up a DHCPD server on my local network and have found out that writing host names in /etc/hosts is really awkward, since dhcpd doesnt assign the same ip every time. I was wondering how to make host resolving work even if the ips and addresses aren't written in /etc/hosts. Specificaly I have an host connected to my dhcp server which is assigned ip 192.168.1.3 and host name of spiritus.neonatus.net. How can I make the server resolv the ip to the hostname (let's say if I do a ping spiritus.neonatus.net (where neonatus.net is my domain name) I would get normal ping reply)? THX in advance!
