You still have the added management overhead for consumer devices running a standalone dhcp server which have to be kept operational and monitored. If he doesn't have server infrastructure at the sites that the dhcp daemon can be dropped on, he's better off relaying it to where it can be properly presented and maintained.
Annnnddd... if the sites already lack the appropriate server infrastructure to just drop a dhcp service on the local networks, then they likely aren't going to function very well with the network links not operational anyway.... -Blake On Tue, Mar 19, 2013 at 5:23 PM, Michael Chaney <mdcha...@michaelchaney.com>wrote: > You can get one off ebay tomorrow if you're willing to pay.
