Any such discussion is purely academic as far as my network goes. At
its peak it consisted of 3 windows and 2 debian machines. At the
moment it has 2 windows machines and one half-zombie debian router. I
never even got around to renumbering the windows machines because the
value in it was purely academic and renumbering statically numbered
windows machines isn't fun (especially when the machines are usually
off except for when they are in use). I also never ended up handling
mail for them since the users are all using juno.
I am interested in learning the correct ways of managing this sort of
thing. Unfortunately I have so much work to do now that I can't spare
time to read through that (and other) RFCs. Don't worry, that
3-machine network is the only one I admin, and it exists primarily for
sharing the single internet connection and secondarily for moving
files between the windows machines.
