Right, I read that part of the man page. The issue I'm having is that, the 
subnet block is not showing up in the dhcpd.conf file anywhere. So addresses on 
that network don't get handed out because dhcpd doesn't have the subnet 
defined. I've had to hack the dhcp.pm file to add the remote network to an 
interface so that the subnet block definition for dhcpd shows up associated 
with the interface the dhcp requests come in on.

I don't think "!remote!" is enough to define a network where dhcp requests are 
routed to the xCAT master, since the dhcpd.conf file isn't generated correctly. 
Somehow the subnet block definition needs to be associated with an interface 
for dhcpd to hand out addresses in that range.

Thanks,
