Sure. It is not going to interfere with anything. You choose what pool of
addresses are available, and if it one is in use it will not duplicate
the assignment, so there are no problems. Is there a specific reason that
you do not want users to be able to select an available IP address? As
long as you make sure to tell them that you are using dynamic addressing
I can't see a problem.
