With my home network growing, I find myself sometimes spending way too much time in Astaro trying to juggle all the devices I have on my network; setting up a fixed ip/device name in dns, firewall rules, etc. I've read up abit on this and it seems like a Active Directory server would integrate well with Astaro to help manage the device names and ip addresses (eg, the DNS server in a Windows server can automatically be updated when a device connects, so that the device ip can be resolved by a simple name in the network).
However, I have a very mixed home network (Iphones/pad, Androids, XBoxs, set top boxes, VMs, etc), and most of the PCs are not capable of joining a AD domain (nor do I really need to manage logins/resources/permission), so that idea is pretty much out the window.
Is there a simple way to manage so many devices along with their ip/name in Astaro, or am I stuck manually editing dns/names and rules? I'm getting very close to the 50 ip limit (never thought that would happen :eek[:)], and trying to remember IPs instead of a simple name is getting bothersome.
