Have you guys looked at how other projects achieve similar goals? Not the same, but similar...the one that occurred to me is how virt-manager / libvirt handle it, since they need the host system to act as a DHCP server for guest systems. I believe libvirt uses dnsmasq for this. It occurs to me that dd-wrt also uses dnsmasq. So it seems like maybe that's a good candidate to use when you need a plug-in DHCP server like this. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
