DHCP Over PPPoE

[Julian Elischer]

A few things..

1/ thisn is a FreeBSD list so we are not very familiar with linux.
2/ PPPOE uses PPP which is a point-to-point protocol and does not support
   broadcast.
3/ DHCP is a broadcast protocol and does not support point-to-point
  networks.
4/ PPP (oE)  has its own IP allocation mechanism.
