Thanks, Dan. That is something I've been concerned about myself since the one-day format with preassigned addresses was introduced. As should be fairly well known, I tend to be compulsive about addressing, and would prefer to do my own. The counterargument is that the real labs may play some specific games with addressing to make things difficult. In other words, your decent addressing plan would avoid some of the problems the real test would force you to construct. You have given me the idea that scenarios perhaps should give the user an option whether or not to accept preconfigured addresses. The only caveat I might make on that is that commercial labs may require you to use specified addresses to reach resources (e.g., test generators, TFTP servers) outside the pod.
