[openbeosnetteam] DHCP Question

Team,
I have been looking over the DHCP spec and getting ready to start
working on it and I have a question. I saw in the protocol information
regarding what happens when your machine sends a request for an IP and
two or more DHCP servers answer back. I do not believe the spec gives a
rule for what to do in that situation. I got the impression that the
machine/user needs to decide which server to get the IP from.
I've never booted a PC of any operating system on a network with more
than one DHCP server so I don't know how BeOS 5, Windows, or any other
OS handles this? Obviously this doesn't impact my initial work--I'll
simply assume there is only one server until I get that part working. I
am just wondering how we should handle more than one DHCP server.
Thoughts? Does anyone know how BeOS 5 handles it?
