Re: MVP for a DHCP server

You're assuming the DHCP client is configurable.  Sometimes (eg, PXE
boot ROMs), they're not.

Any DHCP server which can't be configured to serve a client-specific IP
based on MAC address is a nonstarter for some of my, at least, use
cases.  (Which is not, of course, to say that such a feature is
necessary in an in-NetBSD-tree DHCP server.  I would like it if it
were, but NetBSD long ago stopped caring about what I like.)
