[ale] A DHCP server on a firewall

[David Hamm]

I'm not a security expert but it seems the risk could be low.  I syspect you
only want to serve dhcp to the internal net.  If so then you could tell dhpcd to
only listen for requests on eth?.  You could do this on the command line or in
the dhcpd.conf file.
