RE: DHCP versus DNS

[Ward William E PHDN <wardwe nswcphdn navy mil>]

By far the easiest option, unless/until your home systems starts to get over
about 30 systems... after all, you can always create a master /etc/hosts
file on one system, and ftp it to the others :)

For a home network, there isn't any need for internal DNS. Let your ISP
handle your external DNS, and use host files for internal IP<->hostname
lookup. You won't have to deal with DNS at all, and you can still use
hostnames instead of IP addresses.
