That would raise questions about the dhcp server. But, I feel that multiple observations are being stated as well as multiple supposed problems. I think you are trying to solve a "slow boot" problem....but may be intertwining it with other things.

I feel that if one is going to use shorthand it is "ok" as long as they first indicate it first. For example, if I use an acronym I should first do something like "Free Trade Agreement (FTA)". This lets people know what FTA will mean from now on.

If it is only several seconds (don't know what a long second is... :-) :-) ) then it is probably not an issue. > I very much appreciate the help. > I really don't know if you have any boot problems. The time it takes to boot is often a subjective observation and unless you've quantified how long it used to take and how long it now takes it really is difficult to determine what it "should" be. If the only pause you've noticed was at sendmail and sm-client then chances are things are running pretty good.
