Are servers and NAS configured with DHCPv4 today? Not that I know of, we certainly don't do it (even though we use DHCPv4 for most workstations). Of course, that's possible, e.g. by identifying MAC-address in the servers etc., but I'm not sure if all that many folks do it. Don't underestimate the power of an admin doing manual configuration. :-) So, my point is that there's a lot more to it than just "stateful" or "stateless". The critical point, IMO, is making the nodes able to easily configure other parameters they'd like, using DHCP-lite, or other mechanisms like that. Few people prefer to punch all of that in manually. -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds." Systems. Networks. Security. -- George R.R.
