ISC dhcpd on FreeBSD needs bpf (berkeley packet filter). For each
interface one device /dev/bpf?.

My topology is:
ep0 net 193.84.224.0 mask 255.255.255.0
#p1 net 193.84.226.0 mask 255.255.255.0 in future
#p2 net 193.84.227.0 mask 255.255.255.0 in future
ep3 net 193.84.228.0 mask 255.255.255.0
My opinion arised from text 'README' in port 'DHCPD-BETA-5.14.tar.gz'.
Author indirect says that FreeBSD hasn't an ip stack that allows the
all-ones broadcast. (You say it also.) As a result (says author) my
clients will not see DHCPOFFER.
But dhcpd logs that at least some clients received (c)dhcpdiscover -
(s)DHCPOFFER - (c)dhcprequest - (s)DHCPAK etc. If client requests that
server respond using unicast, all is good. But if client requests that
server respond using broadcast, then I may have problem. With single
interface I can solve one by creating martian route. My question is, what
to do with dhcpd on multiple interfaces with condition 'client requests
broadcast'? (I don't know, if win3.x (+ tcp/ip), win95 or nt clients
request sometimes broadcast.)
