That seems risky to me. A 2600 router has a 68000 CPU of some sort (I
think). The same CPU on old Macintoshes. It doesn't have a whole lot of
memory. And most importantly it's optimized to do one job: routing. Routing
is mission-critical. I wouldn't want to take away resources from that
essential job.
An NT server could be installed on a machine with 512 MB of memory, a 1 GHz
P4 processor, a speedy and large hard drive, etc.
Since DHCP is mission critical to most networks, I would want it running on
a high-performance system that isn't also doing routing.
