Matt,

	Chicken or the egg!  How can the Polycom reach the proper DHCP server 
if it is not on the correct VLAN?  That's why Ciscos and Polycoms 
support CDP, so the CDP-capable switch can supply the correct voice VLAN.

	There was a discussion about this a while back, but I don't remember 
what the outcome was.
