If you do decide to use secondaries with DHCP, be forewarned that some strange behavior can occur with ip helpers. It's been a few years since I've done it, but I seem to remember that a secondary will not forward (help) the broadcast from the client when it's trying to obtain it's IP address.

Maybe this will explain it..Just because a serial int is UP/UP, it doesn't necessarily mean that data is able to be xfered. The serial int could be connected to a CSU/DSU which might give the int the correct control signal states to make the serial int appear to be up (example would be that the
