Sten, what I'm trying to get to is whether DHCP is the right solution for these problems in the abstract. If it is the only solution that's available now, it's perfectly understandable for people to use it in ways that don't entirely make sense.   But there has been noise made in the IETF about solving the problem of configuring applications like IMAP and SIP in node-specific rather than network-specific ways, and I'm trying to get the sense of whether working group participants agree that that's a good idea, or really think DHCP is the right way to solve that problem and that no better solution is needed or wanted.
