Re: Tracking static IP addresses

Jeff,

That is correct. It is also why you should have 2 DNS servers and why there
are places for multiple DNS servers pretty much anywhere you specify DNS.

One point about this. If I assign 192.168.0.34 to
ricoh1.dilgardfoods.local, and my System i printer definition references
ricoh1.dilgardfoods.local, then the DNS server must be up for the System i
to see the printer, right?

If the DNS server is another box and it's down, is the printer then
unreachable from the System i?

We have a Windows server doing DNS.

You should give all of them a name anyway. The most reasonable place to
keep the information would hten be the configuration of the internal
DNS-server.

(and the advice of the day. Use an internal-only domain name instead of
reusing an external one).
