Ummmmmm...  So how do you access the hosts, if they're switching
IPs on you and you're not using DNS?  Do you just rely on WINS or
something?

You could set up passive checks, and have the DHCPized machines
*send* you the test results, that way Nagios wouldn't have to have
some way of addressing them.  I *think* that would work?  I've
never tried it.
