Any #DHCP experts around?
I am confused by a feature in OpenStack Neutron where you can assign a virtual interface ("port" in the relevant lingo) multiple private ("fixed") IPv4 addresses. OpenStack configures ports via DHCP, and at least as I read the relevant RFCs, one DHCPOFFER can only ever contain one IPv4 address.
Am I missing some obscure DHCP feature where assigning multiple IPv4 addresses to one interface is possible? Does an equivalent feature exist on any other cloud platform?
