Actually, I'm not sure I'd want to be that locked in. I'd have interfaces listed explicitly assume they had config data, and then specify a 'DHCP' token to have all non-listed interfaces do the DHCP thing, eg: network_interfaces="lo0 dhcp" > > What happens if your lease expires and doesn't get renewed, or gets > > renewed with a different IP address? > > You will get "no route to host" type messages. Yup. That's just the way it is - I can't imagine what alternative the original poster thought they could have, steal an address? Ignore your least?
