Comment on Going nuts with networking of VMs on Proxmox (SOLVED)

Doing it that way is a sure way of loosing your mind at a certain scale.
Don’t do that.
Ensure your DHCP and DNS work as expected and save your headache for the future when you want to expand the homelab to something like https certification or IPv6.
Static IPs should be used sparingly. Like for servers.

I agree with you. I am not at a scale were it matters so I don’t bother. I only have a couple dozen servers to harness for work. Point is that OP does not sound to be at that scale either

  My scale is ±5 servers. And of them only the ones that are critical like my AD/DHCP/DNS or my backup servers are actually static.
  
  I’d peobably get an aneurysm seeing your network ;), /j
  But if it’s tidy and documented, more power to you :)

    Well my entire network doc is a 30ish lines .txt file that looks like this example:
    
    Hostname11 10.0.0.11 master db1
    
    Hostname12 10.0.0.12 db1 backup
    
    Hostname13 10.0.0.13 ui back end 1
    
    Hostname21 10.0.0.21 master db2
    
    Hostname22 10.0.0.22 db2 backup
    
    Hostname23 10.0.0.23 ui back end 2
    
    Then some other general stuff on some other 10.0.1.x network etc
    
    Once you take care assigning static blocks and it makes sense you don’t have any surprises. Db1 crashed? Lookup its config data, reinstall machine, recover from backup and nothing else needs to be configured.
