This alternative is not feasible unless I install a software DHCP server 
on one of the machines. At present I stick (quite small and simple LANs) 
to the servers that sit in the xDSL router boxes - my current boxes do 
not allow to do what you suggest (one of them is ISP provider-imposed 
and configured).

I will suspend the decision until I have some hands-on experience with 
backupPC.

Thanks for you reply!
