Yes. That can be done. Just return the static IP in an attribute. You can look these up in a database, using an SQL query. > - Need to provide, in addition to the IP, some DHCP options.

The modules of the server allow for replies to be based on information in the request, such as MAC address. > Freeradius 2.2.0 can provide this functionality just configuring it, or > it would be necessary to use modules or developments that aren't > available yet? It should just be a matter of configuring it. I'd start with static IPs. See the "sql" module. You'll probably want to change the lookup to key off of DHCP-Client-Identifier or DHCP-Client-Hardware-Address, instead of USer-Name. (See share/dictionary.dhcp, and raddb/sql.conf, raddb/postgresql/dialup.conf). Then configure IP pools for DHCP. See modules/dhcp_sqlippool, and raddb/sites-available/dhcp The configurations aren't as simple as ISC, but the server is definitely more powerful. If you have a simple configuration / howto, send it over, and we'll integrate it into the next release. Configure - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
