 When assigning Static DHCP leases, you should use an IP address within FreshTomato's main subnet, but outside the normal DHCP pool scope (assignment range). This avoids potential IP address conflicts. For example, if you have the DHCP server set to assign addresses in the range of 10.0.1.1 - 10.0.1.100, then choosing Static DHCP assignments of 10.0.1.101 - 10.0.1.254 might work well.
-If you want to assign multiple hostnames to the same IP address (for example, you want the the server 10.0.1.3 to be known as both “galaxy” and “mail”, you must separate them in the hostname field with a space. A space isn't a valid DHCP Hostname character, so you must use a hyphen for a single, multi-word hostname like “My-PC”. If a client device has multiple network interfaces (for example, Ethernet and Wi-Fi) with different MAC addresses, there's no way to assign the same hostname to both devices. You will get a “Duplicate name” error.[(ref_1)]

 If FreshTomato can't find a match for the device's Hostname (first priority) or [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address|MAC address]] (second priority), the server may fall back to either Dynamic or Automatic allocation. For an explanation of the term //Hostname//, see later on this page.

-[(ref_1)]Discussion has invalidated this. FreshTomato has input for 2 MAC per IP/hostname - it is possible. https://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?threads/official-freshtomato-org-website.75333/post-322397
