In Debian Edu, we have adjusted the DHCP client configuration to
request a bit more information from the DHCP server. The options
log-servers, smtp-server, www-server and wpad-url are added. Would it
be possible to change the default DHCP client configuration to include
these options?
Setting severity to important, to reflect the severity of the Debian
Edu parent bug (#311188) related to this issue. I realise that if
only seeing this problem from the viewpoint of the dhcp package, the
severity would probably be wishlist, but hope you can see that it is
am important issue for us to get fixed.
Here is a patch adding the options to the dhclient.conf file.
