That's a lot more complicated, since each have their own MACs. Do you have
a) some kind of centrally-controlled configuration, and b) are they all
under DHCP, and only allow known MAC addresses to get IPs? If yes to both
of those, you could write a script to make it, using those, and push it
out.

On the other hand, you only need to do it once for each machine.
