DHCP relays are used a lot, but the ISC one probably not so much. It 
dumps core when send a DHCP response packet back to the client. Maybe 
older versions of NetBSD have an ISC DHCP relay with less bit rot?


Since we are talking about NetBSD, it is always an option to just run a 
DHCP server instead of a DHCP relay. That doesn't mean it's a good 
option though.


If it turns out that neither ISC nor TNF want to support the old DHCP 
relay, then we may as well switch to upstream supported code.

p.s. I have a fix for the DHCP relay core dump. I don't know where the 
root cause bit rot is, but I do have an fairly acceptable patch.

Switching to the new DHCP from ISC?

2022-09-02 Thread Lloyd Parkes 

Hi all,
Are there any plans to switch the DHCP server we have to the new Kea one 
from ISC? The relay that comes with it dumps core when relaying DHCP 
responses.


I've fixed my copy of dhcrelay, but when I went to send the patch 
upstream, I saw this


Please note that this project is in maintenance mode - we are
not actively adding new functionality and may not respond to
non-critical issues

and this

The client and relay portions of ISC DHCP are no longer
maintained

but also this

The Kea distribution does not currently include either a client
or a relay.

Does anyone know of a maintained DHCP relay implementation?

Cheers,
Lloyd
