I did some fooling around and luckally my test box has a second NIC so
I just set up the dhcp/bootp server on that and networked the
freevix/freevo box that way and it worked fine.
BTW, I have as many DCHP addresses from my ISP as I want, and I
currently have 6 static IPs from them as well.. MV rocks :)
