Quite a bit was invested in making the DHCP server
scale really well in large environments; the ISC server we're told does
not scale as well.
I think it is fair to say that scale really well is fairly subjective. By
default, the Solaris' Enterprise DHCP mode essentially means sharing the

on Linux. Works very well. I am not sure what kind of
additional

to claim it is good to go.
The catch is of course that stuff that makes it into OpenSolaris isn't
guaranteed to be carried
The Solaris DHCP is older code and not actively updated -- no one
wants to accept responsibility w ithin Sun for the maintenance,
updating of the code since it's not new and exciting. Realistically it
needs a re-write and re-architecture.
