I have been doing some research on the Freeradius DHCP and from what I could tell would I be correct in saying that the Freeradius DHCP service is a static DHCP service?
Well, I'm guessing you don't move the servers around too much... :)
But no, you can do dynamic DHCP. See sites-enabled/dhcp, the section that is commented out for dhcp_sqlippool (which also uses policies from policy.d/dhcp).
It's a bit more low-level than, say, ISC dhcpd. Less tested as there's less usage (it is being used in live deployments) but far more flexible. dhcpd doesn't let you store your leases in a database, for example.
The DHCP server is used by multiple ISPs servicing a large, heterogeneous client base. It’s pretty well tested :) -Arran
