You are not alone ;-) I try set up DHCP server on -current and find
that DHCP server write log "Reply to the bootp client...", but it's
didn't send any reply packet to bootp/dhcp clints. (You can see by
"tcpdump -i ed0 port 67" ). So my quick investigation, it seems
to write(ether_write) to interface in dhcps.c without error but
not sending any actual packet. So might be problem in kernel.

Sure. (Even you don't use dhcp relay, you need empty file for
/etc/dhcpdb.relay.)

Another secret that I found. "ipad" fieled should NOT be place on
end of line, otherwise you will got syntax error.
