I'd like to hear any suggestions, too. The best I can see is this:

If you're using ppp it's most likely dial-in. If you assign an IP address
to each port, then whatever port your user dials into gets the IP assigned
to the port. The only other experience I've had with this is IBM's ppp
which assigns a number out of a pool, but the net effect seems the same.
The only advantage to this is when you have several phone lines on a
rotary.

If you have a DHCP situation, I'm as mystified as you.
