Hi, We're running the very latest snapshot of 2.1beta0 on two boxes with failover : it's GREAT !!!
However, we like to report some limits of the DHCP server's configuration capabilities, in case these enhancements could be implemented in a future release. * First problem is with the "range" settings : if we want to create a set of static mappings, and check the "Deny unknown clients" checkbox, then the WebUI doesn't accept that we don't fill the start and end range boxes. So we have to fill them in and we use the same IP address for start and end, but this is not very clean. Are we doing something wrong, or as we think, should the WebUI accept such settings ? * Second problem is about network booting : it's not possible to specify a different boot server or none at all for a set of machines behind the same interface. What would be great would be a way to override the "next-server" setting on a host-by-host basis, just like it's possible to do so when modifying ISC's dhcpd.conf manually. So a "next-server" input box should be added in the "edit static mapping" box when network booting is enabled on a particular interface : this page already allows one to specify a different root path and filename than the ones defined at the interface level, so why not add a different next server override option as well ? Would other people like such enhancements ?
