I don't mean "contrived" in the sense of "never happens in  
practice."   I mean contrived in the sense that using it to prove the  
point Sten was trying to prove is contrived, because I can come up  
with an opposite example that proves the opposite point, and is an  
equally valid example.   Thus, the answer can be attained by following  
neither example, but instead must account for both.

Believe me, I understand and sympathize.   I have to maintain machines  
like this too.

But remember that DHCP deployments in the millions of addresses per  
server are not uncommon in the ISP space, so although your 300 are  
significant, there are many other situations out there that DHCP also  
has to support.
