I don't know for the Princeton build, but here at Onelab we publish  
the 'stable' builds that relate to 4.2 at
http://build.one-lab.org/4.2/
I expect to build an rc3 in the next coming days, that might well be  
the final 4.2 release
the combination that you want to check first is probably
planetlab-4.2-rc2.1lab-f8-32/

I believe the onelab build has more flexibility for this kind of things
you may either directly use
onelab-4.2-rc2.1lab-f8-32/
or alternately just pick the PLCWWW rpm in there and use it to replace  
the one that comes with the planetlab build

I've done that 2 weeks ago; it took a while until the changes made it  
into the build as part of the new myplc-docs package (so I think the  
12 may build was still missing that), but with recent builds you  
should have the right stuff available at
<yourplc>/db/doc/myplc.php
<yourplc>/planetlab/doc/myplc.pdf
<yourplc>/planetlab/doc/myplc.html
If there remains any significantly inaccurate information in here,  
please let me know

I'm backing Marc's question here, it'd help if you were more explicit  
on what you mean by 'dynamic IP'

right, what sort of device are you thinking about ?
