Thanks for the quick response, Jim!
Then let me ask you this...what about using static ip addresses, bypassing
dhcp all together. I didn't fully understand from the docs, but it appeared
that I should be able map ip addresses to mac addresses - if that's the
case, how would the LTS be configured given the criteria I laid out (minus
dhcp)?
