I don't think the MAX can assign from a DHCP server and I don't think I
would want it to. :(

You should define the IP Pools in the max itself, and then let the max
handle the dynamix IP Address assignment. That way if the DHCP server
goes down, your users will still work. The default IP is for the MAX
to assign one from its pool, unless you specify one using
Framed-Address.
