We had a master list of IP<->MAC addresses, and that was used to <br>
generate DNS/rDNS, DHCP tables, and kickstart configurations. No <br>
hand-edited anything. No accidentally using someone else's address or <br>
misconfiguring some other parameter.<br>
<br>
It meant everything got set up the same way, and didn't rely on being <br>
able to remotely access a system to make configuration changes <br>
(ala ansible/etc) that tend to go along with taking a system out of test <br>
into production. (or flaky BMCs or network KVM switches!)<br>
