Nearly dito. The only difference here is that the pool and occasional
static one-address assignments are "on" the ethernet. This is no
problem due to Proxy ARP (Proxy Mode=Active or Always). Pool Only=Yes
and Assign Addr=Yes, works well. Pool Only does mean nothing but "If the
profile get's an IP from a pool, than it will have no way to override the
assignment". IMHO an absolute must for security reasons, because it is not
implemented very fair (with Pool Only=Yes you _must_ accept the exact IP
assigned, with Pool Only=No you can request _any_ arbitrary IP and _get_
it. The best option is missing, that would be "Try to get the same IP that
I had on the last dial attempt and if the IP is not in use, give it to me,
else assign a new one, but never allow an off-pool IP". FR ?).
Lets see how 6.0 does ;)
