What you want to do is call the dhcpd daemon first, and then apply an IP alias
to that interface, which is BTW pretty much the same thing Windoze does, though I
must admit that I think Linux does it much nicer. IP aliasing is easy to do, just type
ifconfig ethx:0 dotted.decimal.ip.number and you have another IP setup on eth inter-
face x.
