However, his choice seems to be based on familarity rather than CURRENT technical evaluation. I have (recently) tried both clients. For the simple case, both work satisfactorily. The ISC client/server (pl10) builds right out of the box. I prefer it because of the additional flexability it provides for the non-trivial case. On Tue, 9 Feb 1999, Jordan K.

If someone will agree to commit the files, I'd be happy to supply the pieces for the ISC DHCP2 client to drop in.
