Thanks Kevin,

Its funny that the C888746-a shows up in my lease file.  Here it is:

lease {
  interface "fxp0";
  fixed-address 12.224.209.139;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.252.0;
  option routers 12.224.208.1;
  option domain-name-servers 204.127.198.4,63.240.76.4;
  option host-name "c888746-a";
  option domain-name "attbi.com";
  option broadcast-address 255.255.255.255;
  option dhcp-lease-time 345600;
  option dhcp-message-type 5;
  option dhcp-server-identifier 12.242.16.34;
  renew 0 2001/12/23 00:58:22;
  rebind 1 2001/12/24 12:58:22;
  expire 2 2001/12/25 00:58:22;
}
lease {
  interface "fxp0";
  fixed-address 12.224.209.139;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.252.0;
  option routers 12.224.208.1;
  option domain-name-servers 204.127.198.4,63.240.76.4;
  option host-name "c888746-a";
  option domain-name "attbi.com";
  option broadcast-address 255.255.255.255;
  option dhcp-lease-time 345600;
  option dhcp-message-type 5;
  option dhcp-server-identifier 12.242.16.34;
  renew 0 2001/12/23 16:10:13;
  rebind 2 2001/12/25 04:10:13;
  expire 2 2001/12/25 16:10:13;
}
I'll play around with it today.  You've set me down the right path! 
Thanks,   Rob.
