What? I sure hope so; the UO is going to DHCP IP allocation this summer. DHCP is supposed to be BootP backwards-compatible (or similar). > We have a client who has 500 hosts that are on and off the net all > day.

I know of at least 2 DHCP servers that are in the ports collection, one of which is the WIDE server. DHCP client for FreeBSD is another matter entirely.
