It seems I'm back to my existing/original solution then. I have a little Linux (Ubuntu 10.04 server) system running on an Acer Aspire Revo which provides DHCP and DNS services by running dnsmasq. That works pretty well and enables one to just connect a system to the network and it will get its IP address *and* can be referred to by its name without any hassle.
It's just that I was hoping that I could turn the Acer off as it does little else now as I have moved the web server and mail server to a more powerful system.
Can you not move DNSMasq to that more powerful system too? Or would it end up on the wrong side of a firewall?
