my curiousity has been piqued by this conversation. why would you want to do DHCP across a firewall? wouldn't such a thing permit security breaches?
Am I correct that this would become a concern in a network where you have a number of internal security zones ( research, sales, accounting departments all within the same company ) and the members of those departments, although firewalled from eachother, would still require DHCP for their addressing? Was this the idea / design of the guy who asked the original question? Chuck ""Kent Hundley"" wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED].; > You cannot.
