Did you test it? You can use the "ip address dhcp" interface level
command to have the router request dhcp, or "ip address negotiated" on
ppp links.

> Usage Guidelines
> A DHCP server temporarily allocates network addresses to clients
through
> the access server on an as-needed basis. While the client is active,
the
> address is automatically renewed in a minimum of 20-minute increments.
> When the user terminates the session, the interface connection is
> terminated so that network resources can be quickly reused. You can
> specify up to ten servers on the network.
>
> In normal situations, if a SLIP or PPP session fails (for example, if
a
> modem line disconnects), the allocated address will be reserved
> temporarily to preserve the same IP address for the client when dialed
> back into the server. This way, the session that was accidentally
> terminated can often be resumed.
>
> To use the DHCP proxy-client feature, enable your access server to be
a
> proxy-client on asynchronous interfaces by using the ip address-pool
dhcp-
> proxy-client command. If you want to specify which DHCP servers are
used
> on your network, use the ip dhcp-server command to define up to ten
> specific DHCP servers.
