I am trying to convince myself that this is not a good idea. I can’t seem to
find a compelling reason to authenticate or limit leases.

Or you could even just run wide open DHCP at that point if you don't care about
authentication or limiting leases.

Yeah, trying to eliminate the user having to authenticate. We know the MAC
of the fiber terminal. We have control over the DLS lines. We have to enable
either the fiber or the phone for them to get service, in my mind that is
plenty of authentication.
Like to have a user plug and play with no extra steps. Like to not have any
more databases. I really don’t care who the user is etc. If they can get
service they are supposed to get service.

You could probably do a really short DHCP lease on the initial walled garden
IP, I don't know how short DHCP Patriot supports, but I would imagine the
shortest would probably still be 60 seconds.

Be nice to make it so that a DSL modem/router could power up and just start

We have had a DHCPatriot system for about 5 years. We love it. It’s
essentially a captive portal. When a user first connects, they get a private
IP and policy routing forces them to the portal. When the user authenticates,
the system uses a local user database or RADIUS to authenticate the them and if
successful, ties the MAC address to a username. Now that the user is known,
they reboot their device (or release/renew or wait a few minutes) and the
system assigns an IP address from the authenticated address pool.
Infoblox looks like it has a few more features (some DNS and IPAM stuff).
If you’re in the market for something like the DHCPatriot system, I
recommend getting a demo.

I thought it was pretty interesting. Infoblox has a nice DHCP server too.
