What do you mean unusual to configure more than one with DHCP? DHCP is typically used to configure multiple network interfaces, or 1. You often specify a range with DHCP

It is unusual to configure more than one interface on the same host with DHCP, which is exactly what my answer says ...

Why would that be unusual. Suppose you have a network of a few computers and are using DHCP anyway you put two adaptors in a computer and they're set to DHCP. Why is that unusual? Or you have just one computer and add an adaptor.. Why would DHCP be unusual there?

The definition of "usual" is how often such an approach is taken in relation to the number of such situations. This is, why it is unusual.

well -usually- when something is usual, there is a reason why e.g. it's a default setting thus it's common, or some other reason. And even when things are just convention causing a norm, there's a reason. So there are reasons why particular things are usual, and that's what i'm trying to ask you.
