RE: > Are we actively involved in the work for the new super-duper dhcp stuff?

Yes, I'm in correspondence with the primary developer on the project, Ted Lemon,
and am registered to receive early releases, and while I haven't heard anything
from him in a while, he did say he'd keep us in the loop. The last I heard was
that he had a working client that required a kernel patch to allow reception
of ethernet packets on an interface without an IP address, without LPF - this
would allow DHCP over IPSEC, for instance - and was looking for ways to work
around the kernel patch requirement. I will follow up with him and try to get
access to the alpha test version.

I will ensure that whatever eventually gets shipped by ISC, the version we ship
has a 'sane library API' - though its native use of D-BUS for invocation and
communication of DHCP options should make use of a library API superfluous, so
ammend that to a 'sane API for invocation, control, and DHCP option information
retrieval by other programs'.
