I beg your pardon. What *possible* reason is there for a server,
hardwired, to "announce" itself to anything, other than DHCP? Everywhere
I've worked, and what I know, is that servers are assigned IP addresses,
they don't just take whatever's offered, willy-nilly. And if they do... I
do *not* want to work there. That's not only unprofessional, it's an
insane security risk. Suppose someone puts their laptop on the intranet,
and has *it* running a DHCP server?
