    You could ssh or telnet to them and ifconfig. Ifconfig will give the MAC
    of every configured interface on the machine, no matter which net it's
    on.

    Or ping them, then look at the arp map. Ping will give you the
    hostname/IP mapping; arp will give IP/MAC.

    'ping <hostname>'
    ^C
    'arp'
