But bear in mind that this creates it's own problems.
I've seen situations where clients have failed to get an address
because of a non-authoritative server. Specifically these were
Windows system which simply carried on using their previously
assigned addresses because no DHCP server told them not to - hence
they failed to work when plugged into this network.
