[TriLUG] Ok all you Debian fans, here's your challenge...

[William W. Ward]

Ben & Roy:

For what its worth, I've also spent some time sorting out DHCP*D on my own
box using Debian, so I may have some latent memories of how I sorted this
out.  I'll try to make it, I have a flight to Seattle the following day that
may interfere if its too early in the morning.
