Re: dhcpd on 9.0_STABLE amd64

Hi,

I was always thinking dhcpd is a DHCP server, but dhcpcd is a DHCP client,
so they are not interchangable. Am I missing something?

As for original question - me personally not using buit-in dhcpd because
of broken DNS updates, so I would recommend switching to pkgsrc version.
