Still we do not have something contemplates this situation. It's
something I have on my 'to do' list, so if you know some free software I
can use for this purpose, I would appreciate.

The idea of having static IP was that they were easily identifiable if
they were conducting suspicious activity (for example an indiscriminate
use of bandwidth). Simplifying the configuration of DHCP server, what
other tools can make the fine adjustment when detecting a problem with
workstations?

Thanks for your reply.
