Actually we cheat a bit here. For the time being anyway...:-)
We have a file on the MT (Mobile Terminal) containing a mapping of every Access Point's MAC - IP - Subnet address. (To be dynamically build in the future)
The process controlling the hand-over between APs simply sends a message to my dhcp-controller with the subnet to get an address from, and then it's up to my controller to execute 
the request...

I agree with you that hacking the config file doesn't seem to be the most convinient way to do
it, but it was the first way that struck me. I guess you have a neater solution at hand? :-)

Anything about that object management API of yours.....?
