The WIDE dhcp server (ftp://sh.wide.ad.jp/WIDE/free-ware/dhcp/) version 1.3beta is now serving static and dynamic BOOTP and DHCP addresses for all our subnets on campus; it required minor mods to the preprocessor #if's to get it to compile on FreeBSD, but then it worked fine. It was picky about its file format, though -- see http://www.dsu.edu/departments/compute/docs/win95lab/win95lab4.html for my little bit of docs regarding the WIDE dhcp server installation.
