This is a confusing part of the BackupPC setup. You should almost always
set dhcp = 0 in the hosts configuration file, even if the host has dhcp
turned on.
More specifically, the only case where you should set dhcp = 1 is
if the $Conf{NmbLookupFindHostCmd} broadcast command fails, and
the $Conf{NmbLookupCmd} command works (ie: it only works when you
explicitly contact it with a unicast request).
