host statement...

[E Johnson]

So, if I understand this correctly...

The first statement gives a hostname to a particular MAC

The second statement gives the fixed address to the hostname

...but I notice that the first statement is just about completely 
duplicated in the second statement, what purpose does that serve?

Thanks,
Eric
