Yeah, that makes sense. I *think* in this setup there shouldn't be a
conflict, because they're really on separate networks (DHCP packets
shouldn't go beyond the machines the routers are connecting to) but
here my reasoning becomes sloppy. Of course, making sure they use
separate IP ranges for their respective DHCP stuff won't hurt.)
(Just to clarify: DHCP is only used to manage the modem. As Gordon
points out, the actual traffic uses PPPoE. The network itself only uses
fixed IP addresses.)
