[K12OSN] k12linux and windows dhcp server

[Trey Hunsucker]

Hello,

I would like to setup one ltsp server and have around 20 clients in 
different rooms connect to it. The problem i encountered is that the 
windows dhcp server beat the ltsp dhcp server to the punch on handing 
out dhcp. Therefore it seemed reasonable to setup reservations in the 
windows dhcp server to redirect to the ltsp server.
