What if I know the IP address range of the special group and hard code it
into my PC? This seems like a fancy way of filtering by IP address only,
with all the old spoofing vulnerabilities. What am I missing that makes
this truly secure?

Scenario.
I have a firewall rule set that allows use of a particular service for a
limited
range of IP addresses (192.16.24.16/28 say) . I set up my DHCP server to
give
out this range only to users that validate themselves (basically this range
is
for a logical subnet withing a physical segment). So rather than changing
firewall rules each time a member of that secure user set changes, the DHCP
server validates users by things like NT group or challenge response etc.
This
localizes the
security control to the actual owners of secure service.

DHCP hands out addresses, but where does it do validation for
*services*? This is news to me!
