<div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hi Mark,<br><br></div>The issue with ISC dhcpd is just an overall difficulty of use that's on the high side. Configuration options aren't always clearly documented (though that could certainly just be my need to read the right docs). As far as actual functionality goes, once you understand the config options, dhcpd works fine.<br>
<br></div>I hadn't considered managing dhcpd with LDAP--there are some ownership/management issues with LDAP at work--but I'll look into it. If it can provide us with a more dynamic configuration interface (using a web gui to write static config files only takes you so far), I'd be all for it. Any doc suggestions, or are the manpages and the mailing lists about it?<br>
<br></div>I'll check out FreeIPA--we do indeed use Kerberos (via Active Directory, though) quite heavily. If nothing else, it's another tool to be aware of.<br><br></div>John<br><div><div>

You can add lease reservations using LDAP as well as querying the members of pools, etc.</div>
<div><br></div><div>You can have a single LDAP server or a set of replicas. Your DHCP servers must be in the broadcast domains (or you can set your routers to do DHCP forwarding to a central DHCP server) but the LDAP database can be anywhere routeable on your net.</div>
<div><br></div><div>FWIW, though you may not need the Kerberos part, I think you might want to look at FreeIPA, which is a wrapper and control service for a combined Kerberos, LDAP, DNS, DHCP, NTP management service. It provides both a nice web interface and (I think) both CLI interface and REST protocol ( have to check on the last).</div>
