Yes, DHCPLEASEQUERY is a good thing, and I support it.   I don't know 
how to address Thomas' complaints about its relevance to the WG charter 
- perhaps it should be advanced in some other WG, or independent of a 
WG - but it's certainly a good idea, and certainly whether or not there 
is some other WG in which it need also be discussed, it was highly 
appropriate to raise it here, since it is an extension to DHCP, and 
this is where the DHCP expertise is concentrated.

My recollection, though, was that back in the beginning of all this, 
DHCPLEASEQUERY was about providing a way to refresh the ARP cache of a 
concentrator without having to broadcast an ARP request to every one of 
the concentrator's ports.   Is that no longer the case?
