Actually you're right. 1000 are free. That would be 1000 DHCP bindings
on the whole box. Could work in this scenario... Is it true that the
jdhcpd runs on the PFE? The bootp helper seems to punt *all* DHCP
traffic (Port 69) going trough the box to the RE which is kind of
scary... I just hope you can firewall it on the RE.
