Nope, you got the idea, but... Maybe I forgot to include a few details which make a little tougher - I don't admin the DNS server; I can't add static, permanent entries on the server side. I need to be able to add these entries remotely and preferably using a Fedora-standard way (not writing my own script to do it). I know when you're using DHCP there are some lines you can specify in the ifcfg-eth* files to update the DNS. Is there an equivalent when using static IPs?
