I can't really say which is better, but I've been using the isc-dhcp port on several networks. Setting up a server is trivial, just spend a few minutes reading the manpages and you'll be off an running. A point in the ISC server's favor is that we use the ISC client in FreeBSD 3.x and above for integrated DHCP support. -- Brooks -- "Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one" --Thomas Jefferson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
