Getting DHCP client lease without configuring interface


Hi all,

I am working on a server that needs to open n ppp connections over
emulated serial ports. For that end I devised a mechanizem to allocate
a new IP address for each connection. However, I will like to use DHCP
instead.

As far as I understand pppd does not support this feature, however if
I will be able to use dhcp client to get a lease, and instad of
configuring an interface, get the IP address say to the stdout, I will
be able to pump this to the pppd and thus solve my problem.

But how do I go about doing such a thing, or am I going about it in
the rong way,

Thanks.
