I've started a thread about multiple DHCP'd addresses and my problem is
that my ISP uses the MAC address to determine the IP address it issues
in a DHCP 'handshake'.
Is there any way to create virtual MAC addresses that are bound to a
single NIC?
You could probably change the mac address before each of the 8 dhcp
requests. But you would only use mac address after getting allocated the
IP addresses.
It seems odd that the ISP will give you 8 IP addresses, but won't make
them static.
