Hi I'm glad to see that Apache DS does more than just LDAP, but I see that the DHCP protocol implementation is very rudimentary - the code in SVN trunk indicates is just a skeleton and I've been told nobody's working on it any more.
Anyway I'm interested in improving the DHCP protocol and I've even started writing some code, only to discover that there is no "standard" DHCP schema and the one from the IETF drafts expired many years ago. That schema also seems to make little sense, everything is linked using attributes instead of structured in container relationships, there is no documentation on how the objectclasses and their attributes are supposed to be used, and it seems at best very inefficient - allocating an IP address seems to require a linear search through the list of dhcpLeases to find an unused one (for a /8 network, that's up to 16777216 comparisons). I see there were some discussions earlier (http://www.webservertalk.com/archive384-2006-3-1446281.html) and people were going to talk to the authors of that draft, any news on that? Any suggestions on what I should do, try to implement the draft schema as I understand it, or invent a new one? Bye Damjan
