On the other end, if you already run a webserver, you coudl add a bind9 server as a secondary domain name server. It runs fine with Apache or nginx running a web interface : http://www.afn.org/~afn23397/ or Webmin (in the Debian rep but fat) See http://www.debianadmin.com/bind-dns-server-web-interfacefrontend-or-gui-tool...
In that case, you wouldn't need anything else than DHCP clients.
No, because at your option:
- you require people to manually change the resolver setting to know about the DNS server (/etc/resolv.conf on linux, network preferences on mac & windows), so we're back to manual stuff, and in that case a single static IP on the web server is less work,
- or you have to setup a DHCP server on your mobile web server. *Big mess* if there's already a DHCP server on the network (likely).
Well, as a secondary server, *should* work fine
- you have to setup the existing DHCP server to announce your DNS server (complicated, not always possible), and setup your DNS server as recursive to get the pre-existing DNS records. Overcomplicated for the purpose.
Overall you're right!
And Pierre mentionned he knows only a little about networks. Would you recommand bind to a beginner, you BOFH :) ?
Quoi je suis un beauf?
If I understand well what Pierre wanted in the first place, the idea is to come anywhere, plug the web server, and shout "go to http://10.0.0.33" (or http://mymobilewebserver.local/ if using zeroconf).
Cheers,
