Sigh, good question. My inclination would be to look at a user-provided value as an override value. Though, if you wanted to override what the dhcp server said, you would probably just set the config source to manual... But my vote would still be to always use the user-provided value, if it exists. -renee > > Anurag > > > Renee Danson wrote: >> On Thu, May 28, 2009 at 04:21:46PM -0400, Anurag S.
