dhclient information with multiple mac address

[Dan Newcombe]

So basically it sounds like you want to have Computer A send a DHCP 
request on behalf of computers B and C, and then have computer A get the 
answer and use whatever it does to set the IP on B and C.

You could probably use the Perl Net::DHCP module to create the packet.  
The tricky part will be convincing machine A to listen for machine b and 
c's MAC without adversly affecting B&C.

Perhaps something along the way of a DHCP relay on machine A could help.
