[K12OSN] DHCP on a different port..... was 'The Dreaded DHCP.....'

[Huck]

Theory is sound given the following layout:

MS-DHCP server  ------>  MS-CLIENTS
   |
   |
  V
eth1
K12LTSP  eth0   -------> LTSP clients
            ltsp-dhcp active on THIS NIC only

I surely wouldn't attempt this with a single NIC setup(I'm faint of 
heart)...
the 10/100 nic for the ETH1 is cheap enough to do a dual nic setup..
