If you use dhclient as your dhcp client, you can write up a |
| 30 |
/etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks to read the smtp-server option given by |
| 31 |
the DHCP server, and modify any necessary configuration files as |
| 32 |
necessary with sed/grep/etc... |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I do this currently to modify my samba configuration to dynamically take |
| 35 |
advantage of WINS servers. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Of course, if the DHCP server doesn't provide the smtp-server option, |
| 38 |
well, you can always set it based on the domain-name option... |
