Which servers support secondary network numbers?

["John M. Wobus" <[e-mail]>]

I'd like to add information to the DHCP FAQ listing which servers can
handle "secondary addresses on router interfaces".  While I'm not
sufficiently ambitious to create & maintain a full matrix of servers vs
features, repeated questions on Usenet have convinced me that a lot of
people have run into the lack of this particular feature.

I've included the list of servers from the FAQ.  If you know the capabilities
of any of these along these lines, I'd like to know.  In particular:
-Can it handle manually assigned addresses associated with a secondary
 address?  Can it not?
-Can it handle dynamic assignment from a pool of addresses associated
 with a secondary address?  Can it not?
