[Semibug] sshd configuration for Jails questions

[Carl T. Miller]

The best way to manage this is on the DHCP  server.
What you want is a called a reservation and it binds
a MAC address to an IP address.

The details depend on what provides the service.
Typically it will be on a webpage or a configuration
file.

What are you using to provide DHCP?
