<br>
the whole/partial reason for all of this.<br>
<br>
the local system with the dhcp, doesn't have a dns!!!<br>
<br>
you come in the lab, connect, you get your ip. as to the external<br>
world, the dhcp serves the dns for the rest of the world. as to the<br>
internal boxes, you get an ip, nothing more!!<br>
<br>
it wasn't the intent to have boxes hooked up for long... we're bending<br>
the system... so to do that, we'd rather not have to always recall<br>
ipaddresses, so we're going to kludge this..<br>
