That's not precisely what I was saying.   Nobody uses (or should use)  
the circuit ID to assign IP addresses.   What I mean is that they use  
the circuit ID to figure out who you are (that is, whether or not your  
account is current, etc).   Since this information is handed to the  
DHCP server by the relay agent, it's dead easy to track.
