This document describes how to setup a zone for an interface
configured via DHCP. 

DHCP is a method for dynamically assigning ip numbers to machines on a
network. It is used for almost all dial up connections, and on some
LAN's.

FIAIF can easilly handle dhcp configured interfaces, even if the
interfaces are not up at the point when FIAIF is started.

To configure FIAIF for DHCP interfaces, you must point DEV to the
interface name of the DHCP interface, and set DYNAMIC=1. IP, NET,
etc. is not used when DYNAMIC=1. If the interface connects you to the
internet, and the interface will be assigned a public valid IP number
by you ISP, then you should set GLOBAL=1 also in the configuration
file coverting the dynamically configured interface.

There have been reported problems when starting FIAIF-traffic shaping
for an interface that is not up yet, but is yet to be confirmed.

It is adviced that is the interface is static (i.e. IP, NET, etc is
known at the time when FIAIF is started, and will not change) DYNAMIC
should be set to '0', as this improves security.
