# Virtual ethernet interface control script
# Sometimes, we need a virtual interface of arbitrary name and configuration
# that we can do dhcp on. This script is for those times.

# Basically,
# $ veth setup foo 127.0.1
# $ dhclient foo
# ...
# $ veth teardown foo
# Would set up an ethernet interface called 'foo' whose dhcpd is at 127.0.1.1
# and which will allocate addresses from 127.0.1.0/24. Note that using anything
# inside 127.0.0.0/8 is a bad idea here, since lo already handles those.
