I've never seen DHCP used on residential DSL circuits.. it's all PPP (oA
mostly, and oE if you want) in this country (which the telco picks up
and sends as L2TP to the DSL provider). I get alocated my /26 and it
doesn't matter which LNS I connect to or how I get there (indeed I can
talk L2TP directly to the provider to connect over 3G etc.).
I have, once, with routed bridged encapsulation instead of PPP.

My old company does it this way. Made life very easy. Most consumer
grade routers come set for DHCP out of the box so it is plug and play.
