actually, its fairly easy of you happen to have a dhcp server you are in
control of.
the only value you need to change is its TTL. force a new address every 60
minutes (or less if you so desire). you might also have to edit the conf so
as to have either the mac address assigned to a specified host after renewal
(or not).
in any case, if they re-acquire dhcp after the changes have been committed, it
won't be long before everyone is 'up to speed'. :)
this is how I do it at home for guest machines that want on my network
(wired).
