This is particularly a FreeBSD question, but finding that there isn't
a newsgroup for DHCP (and I am running dhcpd on FreeBSD), I'll ask here.
We've got a Wii in the house, and I've got an entry for it in my
dhcpd.conf
host wii { hardware ethernet 00:19:1d:dd:66:d3; fixed-address
wii.ewd.goldmark.org; }
which correctly resolves to 10.1.10.145
And everything works fine. However, the Wii keeps on making requests
every few minutes. Here is a bit of the dhcpd logs. The requests
come at irregular 1, 2, 5, and 9 minute intervals in this bit of the
log.
