Aside from the other reasons I mentioned (which I notice Bill Crawford 
echoed), I'd point out that you still need to statically assign the IP 
/for the DHCP server/ ;-).

(Yes I know it was said elsewhere NM is supposed to handle static 
IP's... just pointing out why it *must* be able to do so if you expect 
to use it to replace the if* scripts.)
