FYI - my experience with APCs and their DHCP functionality (something
which was requested in the original posting) hasn't been great in the
past. I've got several out in Europe and South America which failed
to renew their leases not too long after I left the site. Sadly, I
had to hand-configure their addresses. Admittedly, I haven't looked
to see if this shortcoming has been resolved in later firmware
releases, but it's something I've been sensitized to and have chosen
to avoid altogether in the interest of reliability/expediency/etc.
