Sorry if this is OT for this list, but let me see if I understand: are you saying that FreeVPS' virtual network interfaces isolate TCP traffic, but not UDP? And therefore dhcpd won't run in a FreeVPS VPS? Can this really be true? I can't find any other mention of it, and http://www.freevps.com/tracker.html says that FreeVPS has "private udp socket lists". If this is true it's very bad for FreeVPS.
