They do have one, but I am trying to stop using them. This is cloud
infrastructure, where one tries to decentralize the services as far
as possible. "On the same subnet", "on the same network" should all
be read with "packets turn up and appear as if they are" prefixed.
What I am doing is distributing the dhcp service to thousands of
instances of more lightweight processes (599 lines of code rather
than 575,050 lines of code) - early tests indicate it works just fine.
