Feh. : :Are you saying you use DHCP for servers? If so, maybe I should shut up :and listen for a while because apparently there's something here I can :learn. I've been using it for client IP pools for years now, but not :for servers. Using DHCP for servers means it's much less work to renumber a network, change router addresses, DNS servers, and so on. Very useful if you've got a zillion machines. Change the settings, and as leases expire, the client servers get the new ones. david -- dscheidt@tumbolia.com Bipedalism is only a fad.
