Any suggestions or comments on the best DHCP server for FreeBSD? Thatīs two things: For open source DHCP, www.ISC.org, ask them how they feel about your application. For bandwidth throttling, thereīs dummynet, or commercially, the excellent www.etinc.com bw-mgr. All reports Iīve heard about bw-mgr have been postive, over the last two years. etinc is in general supportive of FreeBSD. Weīve used their WAN cards for two years without any technical problems. I donīt know if bw-mgr throttles by MAC address. But if you gave MAC addresses infinite leases, then bw-mgr could throttle by ip.
