Hi , want you want is called a "reservation" and it is something common if you use a Wndows DHCP Server, but can also be done adding the entry in you dhcpd.conf. Lets suppose you want to give a host with the mac address 00:1A:4B:84:1A:61 the ip address 172.16.19.5 and the host name MYPC-ONE, then you add this:



# routing via firewall
option routers 172.16.19.5;

host mypc-one {
hardware ethernet 00:1A:4B:84:1A:61 ;
fixed-address mypc-one.domain.com ;
}

Good luck.
