    I believe you read back what I intended to say rather well.

    It's very easy to view DHCP w/ dynamic DNS for the whole pile as a
70% kind of solution (as in Richard Gabriel, "Worse is Better"): it
really does solve problems you have, it just doesn't do so in an ideal
way, and actually achieving closer to 90% of what you want is vastly
more than 20% incremental effort.
