Ted Lemon (the ISC DHCP maintainer) did release what turned out to be several new patch levels in a row to correct some compile problems on various platforms.

I think I have the gist of the conversation saved. As I recall the consensus was to go with a system like named with dhcp_enable, dhcp_program and dhcp_flags in rc.conf. We should probably have both dhcp_client and dhcp_server. Some confusion seemed to result regarding how to deal with bootp. > If you reckon your config is the hottest stuff out, Heh... well it works, and I've had very favorable feedback on it. > then we ought to look hard at it - we would > benefit immensely from someone that "owned" our DHCP issues. I'm certainly willing to help, whether I'm qualified to own anything or not is up to others. :) I'm fairly up to date on issues involving the client, somewhat less familiar with the dhcp server. Doug -- *** Chief Operations Officer, DALnet IRC network *** "Yes, the president should resign. He has lied to the American people, time and time again, and betrayed their trust. He is no longer an effective leader. Since he has admitted guilt, there is no reason to put the American people through an impeachment. He will serve absolutely no purpose in finishing out his term; the only possible solution is for the president to save some dignity and resign." - William Jefferson Clinton, 1974
