Robert,
Interesting point. From what I've read about DHCP Broadcast, it's a recent
innovation, letting Enterprise LANs consolidate DHCP servers on one subnet, yet
service multiple subnets. And it takes some muscle to setup.
Do you know of a definitive article on DHCP Broadcast? What I found by Googling
was snippets of hints about how it has to be setup.
