Sysidcfg file question

Hi guys,
i am studying custom jumpstart and i am confused. My question is this:
If you want to jumstart several machines with different host names, can you still use the same sysidcfg file? or do you have to use make sysidcfg file for each machine?

Thanks guys

I recomment using JET... It's an easy framework for using jumpstart. get it here:
Jumpstart Enterprise Toolkit Overview

and read about it here:
Less Known Solaris features: Jumpstart Enterprise Toolkit - Part 1: Introduction - c0t0d0s0.org

You can use sysidcfg file for each machine for instalations.
If you want to use all install machine in one LAN network, you mast create sysidcfg file
for each machine. Machines must be different hostname and IP Adresses.

Code:
bash-3.00# more /jumpstart/solaris10/config/sysidcfg
keyboard=US-English
system_locale=C
network_interface=e1000g0{
hostname=test
ip_address=192.168.40.111
netmask=255.255.255.0
protocol_ipv6=no
default_route=192.168.40.1}
security_policy=none
name_service=NONE
nfs4_domain=dynamic
timezone="UTC"
timeserver=localhost
root_password=0vl9t1CI.Tqr6
