I know how to set up static addressing and normal DCHP but is there a way to set up automatic static DCHP?
i.e. for it to automatically assign an IP address to a device but from then on always give said device the same IP.

Re: DNSMasq Automatic Static DHCP
That's up to the DHCP server. The client usually (always?) says "I've got MAC address x and I'd like ip Y" and it's down to the server to say yay or nay to that.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: DNSMasq Automatic Static DHCP
I believe that's how dnsmasq operates by default. It saves the addresses it has given to a lease file, and looks up the previous IP address from that lease file based on the MAC address when a new request comes in.
