Static hosts

Post by lee_h »

HI
I have been running Gargoyle for about 6 months now and everything is stable and fantastic. I have a question about static ip's though which i will try to explain with a scenario.
OK, guests Alan and Anne arrive at my house and i assign them static ip's one at a time, connected to their mac addresses and i use their names for their "host names".....all is fine. Guests Alan and Anne leave my house for good and i delete their static ip's......all is fine still.
A new guest arrives and i will give them a static ip aswell, lets call them Bob. When they connect to my wi-fi network they are automatically given an ip address from the router of course but they might be given one of the previous static ip's from Alan or Anne which would also include the old host names. All i have to do of course is to change the host name if this happens but sometimes it confuses matters.
My question is, Can i make Gargoyle forget the old deleted host names?
I am using version 1.5.4

As you might realise, i am not an expert.

Thanks
