Yes, this is planned. The scripts released with Dachstein will likely be
the last of the 'Mountain' firewall scripts, as future plans are to support
several pre-packaged firewall scripts (seawall, rcf, &c).

The 256 character limit is a kernel restriction, so is unlikely to change
soon. It is possible to load non-critical LRP packages AFTER the kernel has
booted, from a config file stored on disk, dramatically reducing the size of
the LRP= part of the kernel command line. I believe this is what David is
doing with O2.

You're correct...the 1.0 scripts support what you want. I'd stick with the
1.0 scripts and paste in any dhcp mods you need. The 1.1 scripts require
you manually edit ipfilter.conf, as a couple IP addresses are hard-coded
(this will be fixed in the Dachstein scripts).
