Hi Zachary.
The two cases of dynamic interfaces on a server that come to mind are (1)
tunnels and (2) canned VM images running in the cloud (like Amazon AMI?s).
I don?t see the point of DHCP over a tunnel in the first case (since you?d need
an IP already to bring up the tunnel), but it?s certainly potentially useful in
the 2nd case.
