Centrally assigning branch specific network addresses

A system for controlling network address assignment, comprising:

• a central address management server on a first network;
• a computing device;
• logic for receiving at the computing system a network address assignment request;
• logic for forwarding the network address assignment request to the central address management server;
• logic for determining a set of address assignment parameters based upon a feature of the network address assignment request;
• and
• logic for assigning a first network address based upon the set of address assignment parameters.

A computer programming product for controlling network address assignment, comprising:

• a memory;
• logic, stored on the memory for execution on a processor, for receiving at a first computing device on a first network a network address assignment request;
• logic, stored on the memory for execution on a processor, for forwarding the network address assignment request to a central address management server on a second network;
• logic, stored on the memory for execution on a processor, for determining a set of address assignment parameters based upon a feature of the network address assignment request;
• and
• logic, stored on the memory for execution on a processor, for assigning a first network address based upon the set of address assignment parameters.
