I am using FreeNAS to host music & video on a home network. I have it setup with a fixed IP at 192.168.1.98; I added a jail to run MySQL 5.6 and gave the jail an IP fixed address of 192.168.1.92. This instance of SQL is functioning.
My problem is that various Kodi (XBMC) clients are resolving the IP of the box to one of the two addresses seemingly in a random fashion. Windows boxes seem to usually get the .98 value, an OpenElec box has gotten both at different times. On Windows I can refer to the shares using "smb://192.168.1.98..." to 'fix' the address. Unfortunately OpenElec doesn't support the numeric form of an smb address.
My issue is that Kodi will scan the video source and if the IP address is not what is stored in the database it will add each video into the catalog, making duplicates.
Long winded way to ask if there is a way to give a different Hostname to the jail instance (or to suppress it from using a Hostname at all).
