Hi,
There's been some recent postings about locally hacked bootp servers
that distribute IP addresses on the fly. We had considered something
like that here at Columbia, but I was wondering what you all did to
recover the addresses once you've distributed them. Is it some sort of
time out algorithm, or is there something active that happens or both?
Do you take into consideration issues such as the computer crashing,
or turned off, etc.?
