Of course, brilliant! Matter of fact I pulled this trick once before
for a user who needed a static IP for their laptop when docked on
campus, and a dynamic IP for home. I put her docking station through
a NAT router, gave the NAT router a static IP (that I got from MSU
hostmaster), and let her laptop get a dynamic IP from the router.
