I don't know what RoadRunner is, but at home we have an ADSL router
that acts as a DHCP server. But this doesn't prevent me from assigning
IP numbers within the server's IP interval. The DHCP server will
try and ping the IP number before giving it to a client. If the
number is already taken, a new one is assigned.
