Nope. There's an NT box on the LAN doing DHCP.
The 3.3 Box is a local server on a disconnected LAN talking
to a "remote" server that spools mail, which is grabbed by
fetchmail. We are running PPP on-demand to the external
server via a dial-up to an ISP. However, PPP only holds the
line up from 8am-8pm and this is happening at 1:59am, coinciding
with the "periodic daily" scripts from crontab.
Seemed wierd to me..
