Thomas answered before i had a chance, but to summarize, it's IP-based, 
but the spec includes the ability to allocate addresses without a DHCP 
server, do name resolution without a DNS server, and use directory 
services without a directory server.

See the URL Thomas provided. It's all explained there.

Shucks. I'm going to remain hopeful until I see it not work the way I 
want it to, though.
