Multiple Hardware Ethernet listings in dhcpd.conf

[Thomas Paine]

I'm trying to get my server to correctly assign me my fixed ip address when
I connect up via wired or wireless.
 I thought I could specify multiple hardware ethernet listings in my host
section, but that doesn't seem to be working.
 How can I get my server to dish out my fixed address on two interfaces?
Bear in mind that I realize I can only use one at a time.
 Thanks.

Just add the following entry to your dhcpd.conf:
host <Machine hostname> {
        hardware ethernet <Machine MAC address>;
        fixed-address <Machine IP address>;
}

Actually, what I want is my host to be the same, and have it dish out my ip
on either macaddress. I thought I could specify multiple macs in the
hardware ethernet lines, but that doesn't seem to work.
 host falcon {
hardware ethernet 11:11:11:11:11:11;
hardware ethernet 22:22:22:22:22:22;
fixed-address 10.10.10.7 http://10.10.10.7;
}
 is this correct, or am I doing something wrong?
 Thanks.

No answer for you, but you might want to check the ISC dhcp-server mailing 
list archives. Lots of expertise there.

As far as I know, only one MAC address can be placed per entry.
I may be wrong though.
Check the dhcp man page... maybe you'll get some insight.
