Good discussion so far, thanks.

I really need DHCP, the network must be plug and play.
The other services (DNS, NTP) are on another network segment. This
segment really has only client systems and it's terminated at the
firewall.
I can't forward DHCP since the firewall doesn't offer the capability.

I am not surprised to hear that there are scalability issues with
Linksys. What device was that, more precisely?
