I have been using DHCP with a LDAP patch that is getting harder and harder to maintain. FreeRADIUS can pretty much do the same, I get to keep my LDAP policy schema stuff (and write a unlang glue to use it) and you get proper DHCP load-balancing/failover.
DHCP failover and load-balancing are not simple *at all*.
They're trivial once you're storing leases in a transactional database.
Can freeradius also detect "rogue" clients which uses static IP address? If yes, this could be THE dhcp server I'm looking for. Last I check ISC's DHCP tries ping first, but newer Windows (with icmp echo disabled by default) makes it somewhat less useful. -- Fajar
