First Time with Groups

[Matt Neimeyer]

I'm a total newb when it comes to dhcp so I apologize in advance... :)

I set up a dhcp 3.1.2 server on my Gentoo box the other day and I'm
trying to set it up so that my "unified" network in the house has
three computers using the office DSL router and the rest using the
home DSL router. The three office PCs are statically assigned and all
but one of the home PCs are dynamic. I know I could do seperate
subnets but I've got enough shared resources between the two that I'd
prefer not to go that route if I can avoid it. (NAS devices, printers,
etc)

If I've read the various man pages right I should indicate all devices
in the conf file but I'm not sure how I should represent devices that
are "self contained" with a set IP. For example, the DSL routers and
the one switch I have. (10.1.1.1, 10.1.1.254 and 10.1.1.2
respectively)

So... Did I get it right?

Thanks!

Matt
