Dhcp

HI,

New to Unix and I inherited a network that runs DHCP in manual configuration mode. Basically, in order for a machine to get an IP it has to have an entry in dhcpd.conf with its MAC address mapped to a hostname (the hostname then maps to an IP address listed in the DNS db file). If there is no entry in both the dhcpd.conf and the DNS db file the machine will never get an IP from the DHCP server. Does anyone know where this is configured and how I can change this to dynamic/automatic configuration????

Thanks
