The pxe-pdhcp is like a nullmailer and it is not like exim, postfix nor
courier-mta in the way it works.

dnsmasq is designed to provide DNS and optionally, DHCP.  So its focus
is DNS.  ProxyDHCP only setting is a special configuration of its use.

This pxe-pdhcp is like nullmailer ... just install it and let it do a
single thing, proxyDHCP.  No special configuration needed.

Bug#710421: dnsmasq provides the ProxyDHCP feature

2013-06-20 Thread Frank lin Piat

Hello,


Package: wnpp
Owner: Osamu Aoki 
* Package name: pxe-pdhcp
  Version : 0.1
  Description : ProxyDHCP server for the non-DHCP server host

..
The upstream source is old (2007) and not active.  But there are 
patches on the web.

The folllowing updates are made to fit for Debian.


Just in case you were not aware of it... the package dnsmasq already
provides the ProxyDHCP feature.

I wonder if pxe-pdhcp has some features that dnsmasq doesn't.
dnsmasq does have a nice feature: it's supported and actively developed 
:-)


Regards,

Franklin
