It is the opposite.

The foreign router company asked us to give addresses to our clients in the 
pre-existents 44 different subnets... it was not our choice. They have 44+ 
routers which does VLANs + routing + mangling. We needed to squeeze inside 
their bounds.

And it is only the clients which are linux embedded (debian embedded), the 
DHCP server is a normal class big iron running debian.
