alternative dhcp server?

[AT-HE]

forgive my basic dhcp knowledge

do you mean chainloading feature would be -completely- compatible to ANY dhcp server??

that would be really nice! .. how? .. can you explain us with apples? .. can we tell to mcb30?

about chainloading:
1) I think the $USERCLASS$” is kind of an ugly hack, non portable to other DHCP servers, etc etc…
2) Dispatching different payloads for option 67 on different DHCP answers it represents also a problem; DHCP (v4) is a stateless protocol, and DHCP server engines (v4) are stateless, I do not consider changing the protocol engine to statefull would be a good approach.
3) Then why not answering the “file” field blank and both options 67 “in the same DHCP answer”?…
I think making ipxe able to chose option 67 #2, or #3 or #whatever should be very easy to do (from a programmers point of view), and also it would be completely portable..

Just my 2 cents
