BRDP provides pointers to DHCP server for each provisioning domain, where 
servers may be multiple hops away. Hosts get addresses (DHCP or SLAAC) and then 
can get the additional info with unicasted DHCP for each address, using the MIF 
extensions. Maybe we have to tweak DHCP a little to support this.
