Their client (dhclient) is part of the FreeBSD base system, but they also have a server. In fact, the server came first. It's in ports as net/isc-dhcp2 and net/isc-dhcp3. Version 3 has a LOT more features, but is still beta code and is probably not as reliable as version 2. In either case, I'd suggest making fixed addresses for the systems you don't want to move a round or simply skip them in the pool declaration. If you set them up as fixed addresses, you will need the Ethernet addresses of the systems for the configuration. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
