[MLB-WIRELESS] IP allocations within a node???

[Mark Aitken]

Hi Rowan,

It is really strange waters to me...I am asking for help in this area.

My own opinion is that a server should have a static IP and "users" have 
dynamically allocated
addresses?

You are probaly right about the MAC caching, seems sensible. (except 
with my ISP!!!!)
