I think I will turn off the SRS dhcpd when "at home"... and turn it on
when travelling.
To answer my own question, a bit more I've found this:
http://blogs.sun.com/lewiz/entry/configuring_sun_ray_dhcp
Lewis Thompson, talks about configuring dnsmasq. This might come in
handy if the broadcast doesn't work out. (I didn't know about the
broadcast before... I assume this is an alternative to DHCP if both
sunray and server are on the same subnet)
Thanks,

Bob has the right idea below.
Two DHCP servers on one subnet are almost always a problem.
Probably the easiest way it to just let the DTUs broadcast, since
you're on the same subnet.
That way you can disable your dhcp service when you're at home, and
enable it when you're traveling.
svcadm disable dhcp-server
svcadm enable dhcp-server

Does anyone use two DHCP servers on the same subnet? Due to wiring in
my house I can't run my Sunrays on an isolated subnet.
I rather not rely on the Sunray Server's dhcpd for my normal boxes, I
need DDNS and I need all my "normal" boxes to work when I take my Sunray
Server to demonstrations.
I rather not rely on my OpenWRT to service the SunRays, because when I
take my Sunrays for demonstration... it does not go with me. (it needs
to stay home with my normal boxes)... Also my OpenWRT uses dnsmasq which
I doubt has the flexibility that Sunrays need.
Maybe I need to post to the ISC dhcp mailing list, but I thought someone
here would have already had a similar problem.
