This is probably the best compromise for all parties. But that reminds me of our (in my eyes) quite obscure configuration layout, which might need some rework. > Sure, commercial routers are doing the same thing (e.g. the > FritzBox), and some (mostly USA) devices default to DHCP-client > on the WAN I/F, but FreeWRT isn't a WRT distribution, it's a > WRT distribution kit.

Nice of you making that clear to me. :) The advantage of having an abstract configuration option for that is that we could apply it to alternative dhcpd's too (preventing conflicts of course). If the implementation proves itself, we can think of applying it to other daemons, too. Regards, Phil
