so basically you want it to act like a Cisco, I see :) ... seems like it
could be done, if you maybe integrated some of the dhcpclient code into
pppd to query a dhcp server when someone connects, then feed the IP to
*them* instead of taking it for yourself. it'd be transparent to the dhcp
server...
