Yeah, there is no reason for most of the workstations in this office to have
a public IP and it is soooooo much easier when you can just plug a machine
into the network and let DHCP handle the rest.  We are moving offices in two
weeks and all the workstations will just get plugged into the new network
(with existing workstations) and everything will sort itself out (probably).
Marvelous.  This also means we get to save some precious IP's for usefull
things like servers :-)
