This reminds me of a question. I have a laptop with two interfaces
(wired and wireless). I would like to have the machine get the same
address whichever interface it uses. I tried
host hostname
{
fixed-address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;
hardware ethernet yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy;
}
and I thought it used to work, but now only yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy is assigned
the fixed address. Instead, xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx gets a pool address.
Should this work, and if not, is there a way to accomplish what I want?
Thanks.
