You gave some good suggestions, but being the persnickety person I am,
I have to comment on them. Nonetheless, thanks!

Ow! Works great if you only have two clients, I guess... :')

This doesn't work for some DHCP clients, unfortunately - some will
not accept a DHCPOFFER on a particular subnet if it's not for the IP
address they had previously. I believe the older Win95 clients have
this problem, but that it is now fixed, but I could be wrong about
this - my memory on the topic is vague.

Yes!

The server will not NAK in this case - if the address is available and
permitted, it'll give it to the client even if the client didn't have
it reserved.
