 A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
 directories. This draft is a work item of the Dynamic Host Configuration 
 Working Group of the IETF.

Newer high-speed public Internet access technologies call for a 
high-speed modem to have a LAN attachment to one or more user hosts.  
It is advantageous to use DHCP to assign user host IP addresses 
in this environment, but a number of security and scaling problems 
arise with such "public" DHCP use.  This draft calls for 
the definition of three options which are added by the 
DHCP relay agent when forwarding public DHCP requests:  
 
 -- Agent Circuit ID  
 -- Agent Remote ID  
 -- Agent Subnet Mask 
 
These options solve the identified problems.

Send a message to:  mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dhc-agent-options-00.txt".
							
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
      MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
      feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
      command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
      a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
      exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
      "multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
      up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
      how to manipulate these messages.
							
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
