[K12OSN] Question on multiple network uses

That's exactly my point.  :-)  The single-NIC LTSP install allows just
that and is how I do it unless I just *have* to do the dual-NIC way.

You can use either your existing DHCP server (up until recently I used a Cisco 1605-R router for this purpose), or you can actually make your LTSP server your official DHCP server for the whole LAN, which is what I do now.  The, in my case, K12LTSP server has one Gig-E NIC.  All my LTSP terminals and my thick clients (FreeBSD, Yellow Dog, Slackware) get DHCP from the K12LTSP server and have no trouble at all going out.  I even had Windows 98, Windows XP, and Mac OS boxes do the same thing, just for testing, and it works very well.  The thick clients will simply ignore any parameters that they don't need.
