Perhaps someone from Hostmaster could offer more specific details, but my understanding is that those IPs will be a subset of the DHCP assigned ranges. For example each building has a dedicated DHCP range(s). Out of that dedicated range, you could specify a few machines that would always get same IPs from campus DHCP. Hope this helps.

Thanks. Hmm, but what if a rogue steals an IP address from our assigned range for their static IP? How could we force DHCP to give our machine another address from our assigned range, but not the rogue's stolen static IP? Thanks, -- dkm
