Al,
Cool! I was just in need of such a feature myself but for bare-metal
installs. We allow DHCP on our "build VLAN" only. Once machines get
installed with base OS, they are then customized with static IPs and
hostnames then re-networked to their target VLAN, server network, DMZ,
etc.
This is really handy. I'll give it a shot now.
