Hopefully not. AFAICS you probably want a DHCP relayer on each node.

I'm an official speaker here but assignment of an IP adress is no
business for a "routing deamon" (and there are several different out
there).
The routing may or may not care about new/changing IP adresses but it is
not it's business to *set* IP adresses on interfaces or integrate a DHCP
server or relayer.

No, you are touching a conceptual problem - the assignment policies in a
IP net (which are set by the admins there) have absolutely nothing with
the routing policies and deamons (which are set by the same or other
admins).
Yes, these areas have to work together but they are basically two
different issues.
