DHCP Server to assign static IP addresses for two NICs

[The_Bell]

I've got a server running a DHCP server where other machines connecto to get access to the internet.

For two of the computers I want to assign static IP addresses, I have added the code to do this using the hostname and MAC NIC of the machines I want to connect.

But one of those computers has two NICs connected to the server, and I want the DHCP server to assign one IP for one of the NICs and another for the other NIC. But I cannot put two host HOSTNAME directives separately because when the server parses the second one it tells me that hostname HOSTNAME already exists.

Anyone know how could I handle this?

Thanks.

dns would require each ip to have a different name associated.

so your gonna have hostname and hostname1

-- some adapter channeling might be possible , but im not sure

there is another thing u can do but its tricky

Bonding of nics -- 1 ip address - 2 nics
