I run a neighborhood network and so far my clients are
single PC's so the chain of devices is...

  WAN - Router - WAP - Client Bridge - Client PC

My router assigns the IP address to the Client PC via
DHCP.  Everybody is in the same subnet.  Works fine.

Some neighbors would like to have a wireless bridge to
their existing home network, so the chain of devices
is...
 
  WAN - Router - WAP - Client Bridge - Client Router -
Client PC

Some questions about getting this to work...

1) Can the client router have its own subnet?

2) How do I tell my router (a Linksys BEFSR81) to
route packets via the client router?

3) Can the client router get its dynamic IP address
from my router's DHCP? (I think #2 above make this an
oxymoron.)

4) Can the WAP (a D-Link DWL-900AP+) and the client
router have only fixed IP addresses?
