I don't have wireless - my XOs are on ethernet (using interface

Currently I am running without a DNS server - meaning that I need to
issue explicit commands at each XO to set its eth1 IP address.
A DNS server does not normally assist much with assigning IPv4 addresses
... I think you mean DHCP server. To correct running without DHCP
server, you could configure dnsmasq, which is installed on current
builds by default, or can be installed using yum.
Edit the file /etc/dnsmasq.conf .
Use "/etc/init.d/dnsmasq start" to start a temporary server.
Use chkconfig to ask for the server to be started on boot.
