#  This loop runs the host command asking if the dhcp server has an 
#  active lease for each addess in turn. It then emits the IP address
#  followed by a tab and the name of the host

#  changes, if the subnet is 255.255.255.0 or /24 there should be
#  a total of 255 addresses, one of which is the router, and one
#  being the broadcast address.

#  Adjust the low and high in the $(seq # ###) bit above to deal with
