I have a server running FreeBSD 5.0 with bind 9.2.2 and dhcpd 3.0pl2

For security I made it to where unless your host name and Mac address are defined in the dhcpd.conf file you don't get a lease.
I have 3-5 hosts that are laptops with a network adapter that they connect with and also a vpn adapter that they use to connect with from home.

I put the hardware ethernet mac address statement twice in a row and dhcpd starts but only recognizes the first hardware ethernet statement. does anyone know how to assign 2 mac addresses to one host or a better way of doing this.


dhcpd.conf file
