Config/testing bench ?

No, you'd need to do some external work to make that happen. BTW - is the goal that a "new" machine will get .128, or that the "old" machine will get a different address - it makes a difference to ways of achieving it, and one is harder than the other ?

BTW - The ISC server will not allocate the address like that anyway. At present, due to the way if uses hashed lists it will allocate addresses "top down" - so .254 will get allocated first, then .253, and so on. But that is not documented, nor is guaranteed to remain the same.
