Hey,
Right now I manually handle the reservations for the hostnames in
DHCP. I was wonderign if there was a way to automate this process.
Meaning as soon as a lease is assigned it is automatically reserved
by default.

Thanks.

No, not that I know of. Maybe some scripting guru could do it for you (try
posting in a scripting group), but my question is, why do you need
reservations by default? What's the point? I use reservations for printers,
etc., and the few desktops I support that for some reason require
non-changing addresses, but that's it.

Note that DHCP reservations do not provide you with security - so if you're
trying to prevent unauthorized laptops/etc from connecting to your network,
this ain't going to do much for you.
