identify other computers by hostname with dhcp

mdg583

Hello,

I am pretty ignorant about this area, and I was wondering is there a way to identify other freebsd computers on a LAN by hostname, when the network uses dhcp? (dhcp is served by a router connected to a modem). IP addresses are not static/consistent, so putting things in /etc/hosts doesn't seem helpful.

Set up DDNS (Dynamic DNS). This uses a combination of DHCP and DNS. The DHCP server will register the hostnames in DNS.
