[Leaplist] polling the dhcp server for an ip

[roland cruse]

Hi Leapers

I am happy to say I will be doing a demo of Linux-Vserver (
http://linux-vserver.org) at a future Leap lug meeting. I hope to install a
vserver kernel and create at least one Virtual Private Server (VPS). I have
come across something I can not figure out. The demo will have to use DeVrys
dhcp for IP addresses of the VPSs I will make on the demo host box (I hope
that made sense). The problem is that you need to know before hand (as far
as I can tell) what the ip address will be of the new VPS. Using static ip
addresses this is not a problem, but not an option in this case. I am
wondering if there is a way you can easily poll a dhcp server for a free ip
address?

Thanks for any clues, tips or thoughts.

Roland
