It would have to be listed as prominently as our description of the
new subnet configuration, yes. :)

They have to reconfigure their gateway anyway when moving from lenny
to squeeze, as the subnet mask change from lenny to squeeze.  With
DHCP handing out 10.0.0.0/8, at least some machines will be unable to
reach the internet unless the router is changed to use the same
netmask.  Gosa propose to use 10.0.0.1 on the first machine I added to
LDAP, and this machine would not work properly with an old router
setup. :)
