DHCP Reservation for DHCP Server

DHCP Reservations are usually for servers and clients that you want to
reserve an IP address based on MAC address, but is there a way to setup your
DHCP Server to dynamically receive an IP address via DHCP reservation?

I am thinking I could set this up somehow, but can't get it to work.

I know I can setup a static address for my DHCP server and have no problems
but I wanted to see if I could reserve an IPAddress for my DHCP server (which
would in essence be like a static IP address, since no other machine could
take that IP address).

Thanks in Advance,
Rick Blake

No, it is not possible.
DHCP machines must be statically/manually adressed

have you thought what would happen if the DHCP service were down?
that's why this is not possible
