I've just been to http://www.isc.org, but contact information, such as mailing lists, are not obvious. I hate non-intuitive web sites. I've found email addresses on the site but I'd prefer not to send it to the chief architect. Then I found a list at http://www.fugue.com/dhcp/lists/dhcp-list.cgi. I'll post a message there and copy the reply back here. -- Dan Langille DVL Software Limited http://www.dvl-software.com/freebsd : my [mis]adventures To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
