	Danny this really is a non-issue.

	A SOHO DHCP server side will learn its values from the
	SOHO DHCP client side.  SOHO DHCP servers do this today
	for lots of values it returns to the SOHO network.

	Today you have a check box on SOHO routers that says
		[ ] DNS servers learn from network.
	If it is not checked you get a dialog to fill in.

	Tomorrow you will have a check box on SOHO routers that says
		[ ] NTP servers learn from network.
	If it's not checked you will get a dialog to fill in.

	Similarly IPv6 PD requests will chain through multiple DHCP
	servers until you find one which will allocate the space requested.

	Mark
