Domain Routing
Domain routing is used in multi-router local network configurations. Normally,
to accesss a device connected to one router from another router on the network,
its
address must be used. Activating domain routing (by clicking in the appro-
IP
priate check box) allows the user to access to the computer by name (as well as
address).

these hosts and for delivering network configuration parameters to them.
For example, a client (host) sends out a broadcast message on the network request-

The host can choose to renew an expiring lease or let it expire. If it chooses to
renew a lease, it will also receive current information about network services, as
it did with the original lease, allowing it to update its network configurations to
reflect any changes that occurred since it first connected to the network. If the host
wishes to terminate a lease before its expiration, it can send a release message to the
server, which will then make the
