[Grml] Pump and dnsmasq

[T o n g]

Hi,

If I dedicate a box for dnsmasq as both dhcp and dns server, can I use
pump as dhcp client on the very box to obtain the fixed IP address
configured in dnsmasq?

This is kind of chick-egg problem, so I want to make sure before
proceeding.

Thanks

This is not a good idea for stability and sanity reasons. Although it
will probably work.

Exactly. Don't do it if you can avoid it.
