The DHCP relaying code is in FreeRADIUS for a reason. While it doesn't work perfectly yet, there have been a number of requests for it.
What is the rationale for them not to use dhcp-helper ?
For the same reason as adding DHCP to FreeRADIUS.
Current DHCP servers && relays have *no* ability to talk to databases, and have limited policy capabilities. FreeRADIUS talks to *anything*, and has highly flexible policies.
So there are applications that actually modify the dhcp request that is being relayed depending on database content? For DHCP requests I can imagine that (obviously), for DHCP relay I find it difficult to come up with a use case that sticks, but maybe my imagination runs short here. -- Stephen.
