While I do not think this is reasonable for a lunar lander or things that
far out the amateur sattelite organization has shown that you can get
GPS lock out beyond geo-sync orbit. We should at least include such
altitudes -- although at this time a dhcp client on a satellite seems
a bit far fetched we have seen stranger things come to pass.
