This alternative is not feasible unless I install a software DHCP server on one of the machines. At present I stick (quite small and simple LANs) to the servers that sit in the xDSL router boxes - my current boxes do not allow to do what you suggest (one of them is ISP provider-imposed and configured). I will suspend the decision until I have some hands-on experience with backupPC.
