I fully agree with you. DHCP should be somehow combined with IPCP (PPP).
It means that a host should be able to get the configuration parameters
(alongwith IP address) for the PPP client also. Though some vendors have
implemented this, explicitly nothing hasbeen talked about this in the specs.
It will be better if we can discuss the issues related to such implementation
and standardize it.
