The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
I'm the exception to the rule. We live for our internal Host table entries.
We connect to over 50 unique networks and there is no central DNS. We
use a huge NAT server. Oh, and these networks could cutover to a backup
network at any given time, which changes the IP's of all the printers
and devices for that one network. (Yes, users experience a drop out, but
they can log back in immediately) We use our host table to track the
printer IP's and our DEVD's for the printer are based off of name. We
have a job that monitors the network and if it cuts to backup, it will
change all the printer host table entries for that network to the
alternate IP using CHGTCPHTE.

This might be the end-all to having people use hard coded IP addresses
for their IBM i servers!! This way, IBM i's IP address will change,
not often, but it WILL change at some point. Those using DNS won't know,
or care. Those using a fixed IP address won't know either, BUT they will
eventually care as they will be stuck!!
Must ponder.

When we do a switch from our system at xx.10.xx.xx to our system at
xx.27.xx.xx we have API's on our IBM i automatically update that DNS to
change the entry.
Just curious: did you investigate using DNS dynamic update in
conjunction with setting up IBM i IP address as provided by a DHCP
server?
