15.5. Client Hosts DNS Configuration

To access a machine on your local network, it is generally easier to do it through a name than an IP address (just because it is easier to remember). For that it is enough to tell your name server which name match which IP.

All you have to do is specify for each machine its static IP (by opposition to dynamic DHCP IP), and the associated name, as shown in figure 15-12.

Figure 15-12. specify the name to associate to a static IP address

Launch the wizard as many times as needed for each machine you want to associate a formal name to.

Note

The domain name for those clients is the one defined during previous step.
