    Hello again.  Thanks for all the help you've been previously, our project has made quite a bit of progress.  We currently have a web database interface setup for saving and restoring images to and from our clients that does everything we were looking for:  We can different images to different clients, we can setup lab configurations, and it is all done in a series of user-friendly webpages.  Our saving and restoring is working great.  However, we still have one more problem.

    We haven't figured out how to add a client and get its IP address back.  Currently, a client must be added using drblpush and assigned an IP address, and then in our database we have to manually type in the IP address and the name of the computer.

    So, my question is, is there any easier way for us to add a client and get the I.P. address in a more automated manner?

    Thanks as always for the help.

      If you are using clonezilla box/DRBL SSI mode, yes, you can edit dhcpd.conf, append the IP address range, then run "/opt/drbl/sbin/dcs -> more -> gen_3N_conf" or "/opt/drbl/sbin/drbl-3n-conf generate" directly.
