No, that was a bit unclear. What I meant was that all the hardware
routers I've ever owned have not had any difficulty getting DHCP and
nameserver information and passing them on to my client computers, even
with nameservers changing. So it seems like the most popular DHCP
servers on one of the most configurable operating systems should be able
to handle this as well, but I haven't seen/heard of how to do it yet....
anyone know how?
