[MLB-WIRELESS] DNS, DHCP, static ip...

[Drew]

I see a lot of problems occuring with that scheme... I think it would be 
better to do the area descriptions in the hostnames... ie. 
x.suburb.mlbwire.wan or another idea from the seattle wireless group... 
http://seattlewireless.net/index.cgi/DnsProposal  Although i think their 
hostnames are a bit too long... I'd like to see nodeid.suburb.mwn 
(melbourne wireless network) myself.

yeah the allocation is vague, because it hasn't really been decided on. 
if we can come to an agreement we can start implementing it. Steve?
