 Old information, as of 5.2.0 it supports this. And unlike Shasta it
actually listens to each VPI/VCI pair so you can use even VP's with
dynamic interfaces. I'm not aware of wide deployment though, but
would be very curious to hear about it.
 Same annoying thing as with Shasta, once FIB is populated by DHCP
it'll stay there until it's repopulated to some other inteface. Next
version supposedly will support DHCP 'proxy' which allows ERX to maintain
state of leases even if you relay requests. Thus ERX should be able
to delete FIB entry when lease expires.

Thanks,
