It seems to me that this would work perfectly *if* each tenant either 
configures all their machines with static IP addresses or has some other 
way of handing out IP addresses. I do not see how to use DHCP to assign the 
192.168.1.0/24 block to Tenant #1, the 192.168.2.0/24 block to Tenant #2, 
etc. via DHCP on a single server if all of them are coming in via a switch.

Once everyone has an IP address, this is great. But how to assign them?

Thanks,
