Does draft-ietf-dhc-agent-options-07.txt "DHCP Relay
agent Information Option" specify how a relay agent
with an interface like ATM, with no IP address, can be
set to dynamically get assigned an IP address
to one of its subinterfaces that are connected to a
LAN (DHCP clients) via a PVC.

Under section 3.1 "Agent circuit ID suboption",
(option 82) the client could receive IP configuration
information from the DHCP server via the relay agent
using an identifier, which in this case could be
either the router sub-interface number or the ATM VC
number.
