True. And you've already got the parser for hierarchical configs as well as an SQL and logging infrastructure.
Exactly.
It's not something I'd use but I can imagine it being very very useful in smaller and/or simpler deployments (which is not to say trivial).
There are already small DHCP servers (dnsmasq, udhcp), but there is no supported open source server that can do leases from a DB, and no open source server that scales to 10M records.
Then again, given the (ahem) variable level of questions asked here, do you want to double the pain with DHCP-related mailing list posts?
The questions on the ISC DHCP list aren't too bad. :) Alan DeKok. -- http://deployingradius.com - The web site of the book http://deployingradius.com/blog/ - The blog
