If you're willing to give your poorly secured and rarely updated OOB a public IP address, you're a braver man than I am. If you are that "brave" then you'll need a more robust set of dynamic configuration tools than just the ones you've listed and you'll also need a dynamic dns client or some other mechanism for the the OOB to let you know what addresses it ended up on.it's possible that he's thinking of a world where your dhcp is not 'dynamic' but a management system which can keep all the other bits of information updated (and easily updatable!) for the remote nodes: ip address def-gw dns servers for instance.
Sure, but in that scenario you don't *need* a dhcp system, it's merely a "nice to have." Hence a P2 not a P1. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
