Having the same system that terminates the PPP connection also providing DHCP service would make a lot of sense -- no extra hardware, and a trivial amount of software; likely the same amount of software that would have been required to add the DNS server address options to PPP. -- James Carlson, IP Systems Group <[email protected]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.234W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.497N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ Pppext mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/pppext
