The IP of a DHCP server is not particularly important. In
this case the DHCP server's primary IP in the 192.168.65.0/24
network is 192.168.65.3 and it's primary IP in the .72.0/24
network is 192.168.72.3 but this particular server also has
other IP addresses and connects to other non-DHCP networks.
