1) It would conflict, anyway, since they're on the same port, and
2) Are you sure you want to be using bootp and/or dhcp on the same subnet
as your ISP? How would your client host even get an IP? It's pretty
unlikely -- unless your ISP is pretty generous -- that you've got multiple
IPs with which to play... and even then, if you did, you'd most likely be
on your own subnet, in which case DHCP/bootp broadcasts won't get past the
router, anyway. Check out the DHCP RFC here for more info:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2131.txt

I did some fooling around and luckally my test box has a second NIC so I just set up the dhcp/bootp server on that and networked the freevix/freevo box that way and it worked fine.


BTW, I have as many DCHP addresses from my ISP as I want, and I currently have 6 static IPs from them as well.. MV rocks :)
