| Hi Karl,
| Your suggestion isn't accurate ...
| ... the OP clearly wants to have static IP adresses,
| so your hint is nonsense !!!
|
| You may go as you like and be happy !! ;-)
| Myself too I always prefer static IP's in my setups ! ;-D

I agree, static IPs are pretty much necessary for anyone who uses apache
on any box or several. say here, I have 3 webcams I use for home
monitoring (teenagers, gotta love em) every box has a static IP that
has a cam on it , apache listens on different port for each box. The
router directs to a certain LAN IP depending on what port (cam) I choose
to view. I also have a webserver on yet a different box with a static
IP. DHCP would wreak havoc on my setup.
