Hello all,

I used to work at a site where, as Windows (WFWG and 95) machines booted,
they queried the UNIX server for their IP addresses based on their card's
MAC Address, so that when each machine came online, it got it's
pre-specified IP, etc. etc. etc.

Does anyone know what's involved in setting this up with a FreeBSD server? 
I really appreciate it.  

Pointers in a direction even close to this area would be greatly
appreciated!
