I believe the IPs will be assigned based on the machine's MAC address
and not by room numbers.

OK, but I still must be missing something. Suppose Hostmaster
assigns the range 35.10.58.2-35.10.58.100 for just one set of rooms
in our building. What stops a rogue in our building, or even from
that very set of rooms, from grabbing, say, 35.10.58.10 for their
static IP, and thereby creating a conflict with the rightful dynamic
user of that IP?
Thanks again,
