After phoning Jon to find out what a NAT is (Network Address
Translation).  IP Masq to lots of us, yes I do use it as one of those.

Yep, DHCP serving seems to work well under linux.  Obviosuly I've set the
scope up so that it only works for boxes on the local subnet.
And it's a dns server too, running my very own made up domain and a dns
cache for the rest of the world.  Which means I don't have to fiddle
around with host files all the time.
