    For better or worse, there are lots of things out there that don't
play nicely with DHCP, and will not until DHCP is made into something
else (e.g. web farms using IP based vhosting, or many other examples).

  Sooner or later, you
have the problem where you have to start writing down information that
is actually volatile.
