I have a local wirelses/wired lan running behind a soho router that does dhcp to give my local laptops addresses in the 192.168 space. I also have a linux server on that lan that I occassionally power on.
I would like a piece of software that goes out and pings the local address space and finds out what addresses are in use and what hostnames those addresses are using and makes me a list suitable for appending to the /etc/hosts file on said server. That seems like something who is familiar with tcp-ip and networking could write in about an hour, but would probably take me a day or more to write and I might do very inefficiently.
Thus, if someone is willing to write said software and send me a copy in source code I will send them $100. You can keep the software and re-distribute it however you like as long as I get the rights to keep and modify my own copy. Note, if you are interested, contact me via email first, just to make certain I haven't found another author, as I would hate for you to waste your time and I'm only willing to pay for one copy of said program (and will pay only after I have verified that it solves my problem). That will also give us a chance to make certain we are on the same page as to what the program will do, i.e. that we have clear acceptance and payment criteria.
Thank you for your interest,
-Chris
