Hi Nate,
Windows NT 4.0 DHCP Server allows you to limit addresses to only authorized
machines based on their MAC-address. I am not sure what the second feature
is that you refer to. There is no method that I know of to block a certain
machine from making a request to your server.
I would recommend using DNS to translate Hostnames to IP addresses instead
of LMHOST...but you can use that as well. Both method should allow you to
run logon scripts.
However, running private DHCP Servers on MITnet is bad and will cause
problems to other machines on the subnet as well as with the machines you
are trying to dynamically assign addresses.
