Meaning, if you had a machine with the above MAC (00:04:4B:5D:EB:7D),
it'll get assigned that IP address (192.168.71.1), and told to use the
hostname of "ns" (which gets expanded to the ns.gene.coyote.den FQDN).

If you're not using a PC as a dedicated name server, with that domain
name, you may as well remove the entire clause.

Obvious questions:
Is the MAC correct?
Is the laptop set to configure its IP via DHCP?

On my system, I also included an 'option host-name "diable";' style of
entry within the braces.  Just to help ensure the device used the
hostname I wanted it to.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
