Resolution:
Description:
===========
There are no known issues with using DHCP. In the case of DHCP, you have to make the DHCP client to dynamically configure host names resolution to associate the hostname with the dynamic Internet Protocol (IP) address.

It is recommended that RV routing daemon (RVRD) be run on a host with a static IP address. Technically speaking, RVRD can be run on a host with a dynamic IP address that is assigned by DHCP under two conditions.  First, "neighbor location" must be specified using a host name instead of the IP address, provided that at any time the host name would correctly resolve to whatever IP address that is presently assigned to. Secondly, the user must be willing to take the risk of experiencing dataloss when IP address changes take place (causing RVRD to lose and re-establish connection to the neighbor).

In summary, you must be willing to take your own risk (of getting dataloss) to run RVRD on a machine with a dynamic IP address that is assigned by DHCP. In such cases, you have to specify the "neighbour location" by using the host name instead of the IP address of the machine.
