True, but that is a RaQ running as a bootp *client*, not a server.  AFAIK, dhcp
as a server and service is not enabled on the RaQs, and there is no UI element
to enable it.  Every once in a while over here in our engineering network, some
engineer/SQA tester/sales person mistakenly enables dhcp on a Qube 3 and puts
it on the network, and it's a pain to find and disable.  The Qube 3 does have a
dhcp server enable in the UI.  So, I could believe a Qube being misconfigured,
but not a RaQ.
