Joe....Mac OS X simply needs to be "on" in order for the Mac auth stuff to
work....it does not have to be doing anything or serving any IP's.  You
can have it serving IP's off a NIC that's not connected to anything for
example....I have a school that uses an E-Smith (SME server 6.01) box as
the DHCP server yet the Macs (this is Maine...we have Mac laptops for
every 7th and 8th grader in the state) authenticate and pull "profiles"
etc via LDAP and OD from an Xserve running OS X server.  So you can have
your cake and eat it too.
