I have no opinion about that, but the choice of CHAP is problematic. > How will it affect DHCP the protocol?

It would also help guide discussion. If DHCP is going to be used, I would suggest EAP rather than CHAP. Though that has its own set of issues. In addition, the method should have some mechanism for negotiating authentication domains. This does not exist in 802.1x, and is sorely missed.
