Kristian, I'll have to test this. Lonnie set this up per my request. Perhaps it's not needed, but with the two setups that I've had to deal with IP addresses, one appeared to use the static IP as defined by EXTIP/EXTNM/EXTGW. AT&T (where they had 5 static IP's) would assign a different one out of the 5 nearly every time I'd reboot--unless there was enough time where the device wasn't reachable.
