At the moment, we have no subnets with roaming set, or any hosts with the ro flag. We can still take a dhcp client with a static assignment in the bootptab and tell it to release it's lease, then plop it down on another subnet with free dynamic addresses. Each network is only labeled as registered|dhcp. Ciao, Shane -- Shane Turner - NOC Assistant - Shane.Turner@Dal.Ca - 902-494-1873 Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
