Is this something that's generally on or off by default? In this particular
instance, I have a multi-segment LAN with a router connected to the Internet. 
One NT server has four boards in it and acts as an intra-office router, and 
the other NT servers each have a single board. If one of the single-board 
servers is the DHCP server, will the DHCP request get routed through the NT 
box? Through the router onto the Internet?
That also raises one more question. Assume the 4-board server is the DHCP 
server. It has an IP pool and the netmask. Does it infer from which board a 
request comes in on what subnet to assign to the requesting node?
