Absolutely. That's the whole point of DHCP.
But it's very much the wrong thing to do for traditional servers

you have 4 or more physical NICs.
I don't see why. Either DHCP is the right thing, or else the admin is
going to configure the NICs immediately and then it doesn't matter what
the default is.
