A related question: Does anyone know of a BOOTP or DHCP server that can
hand out a different IP configuration to the same MAC address depending
on the value of the gateway address field?  The application is that we
are considering providing a limited service for people with portables. 
Depending where they physically connect they obviously need a different
config and in some ways it would be nice to have single boot server
rather than one for each possible location.
