So, does the ISC dhcp work with the existing 2.1.x kernels? I
need to get our dhcp service off of the FreeBSD machines and over to
Linux, but if it isnt going to work, then I don't want to bother with it.
Basicly, it has to run on the FreeBSD machine because it has to
support multiple NIC DHCP (3 NIC's to be exact).
Thanks,
