Hi Greg, Larry, Kim, and others, Thanks for all your responses on using Dachstein as a simple DHCP server. I decided to try swapping the eth0 (now to internal) and eth1 (now to external) interfaces, and comment out the eth1 statements in network.conf. Modifying these conf files was kind of fun. Then I modified the eth0 interface settings to my liking, as well as dhcpd.conf and modules. In theory, if my common sense interpretation of editing the .conf files was correct, the disk should do what I want it to do. Unfortunately, I won't be able to try it in the field for another week. Thanks for all your help.
