The ISC version is currently in active development, and suggestions/patches/etc. are being solicited. The beta is quite good, and according to the traffic on the mailing lists is being used in production environments. Your best success will be in downloading the FreeBSD ports collection and using the isc-dhcp2 entry in /usr/ports/net. If you have freebsd machines that need the dhclient script to change their hostname, I have a patch for the script to do that, feel free to mail me about it. Happy Holidays, Doug
