[ale] DHCPD conf file

[Brian W. Neu]

I think the answer is to set eth0 as a static address instead of a 
dynamic address.

Wait . . .how many ethernet interfaces does this laptop have?

I don't think it's possible to run dhcpd and dhcp client on the same 
interface.

I know that you can pass an argument to dhcpd to restrict it to 
listening on a single interface.

# dhcpd --help

Usage: dhcpd [-p <UDP port #>] [-d] [-f]
            [-cf config-file] [-lf lease-file]
                  [-tf trace-output-file]
                  [-play trace-input-file]
            [-t] [-T] [-s server] [if0 [...ifN]]


If I'm understanding correctly, it looks like passing "eth0" as an 
argument to dhcpd should work. . . "should"
