The DHCP server is used by multiple ISPs servicing a large, heterogeneous client base. It’s pretty well tested :)
Yeah, that didn't come over well. "Less tested" and "less usage" not implying that it's no good, just hasn't seen as many years as ISC dhcpd. But every time I use ISC dhcpd (especially failover) I usually end up wanting to die, so having something with proper database support is good. :) -- Matthew
