Actually, if he hooks the four tennents and the router to a five port
switch, the tennents won't be able to sniff anything but the broadcast
packets.


It seems to me that this would work perfectly *if* each tenant either configures all their machines with static IP addresses or has some other way of handing out IP addresses. I do not see how to use DHCP to assign the 192.168.1.0/24 block to Tenant #1, the 192.168.2.0/24 block to Tenant #2, etc. via DHCP on a single server if all of them are coming in via a switch.

Once everyone has an IP address, this is great. But how to assign them?

Thanks,


You could make it a condition that each of them supply you the MAC address of their machines and use DHCP to assign addresses based on them - or you assign each of them a block of ranges they can use and configure them themselves.
