The question is probably more appropriate in comp.protocols.tcp-ip, but
yes. You could use a DHCP server to give clients an IP address to use
while connected to your network. And you can also provide Mobile IP
services, by installing a "foreign agent" in your network. This permits
clients with permanent IP addresses to pretend like they're still
connected to their home network. RFC 2002.
