So, in my lab env I've made a few changes to the server and UI to allow multiple IP blocks in basic network (haven't tried in advanced yet), then additionally I'm passing a netmask down to the agent, then that's passed through to dhcp_entry.sh, and then into edithosts.sh, which I've updated to support dhcpd. The one thing I wanted to do but haven't is to update edithosts.sh to support both dnsmasq as well as dhcpd. Note: this was done in-house without community involvement as I didn't expect general interest in this, but I'm happy to use experience gained to write similar support in the ASF tree. Johh
