OK, I explained that a bit roughly. It's the fixed address ones with a
host <hostname> {}
that get one, not the dynamic ones.

So are ours.

No I did not try v.3. Is that in woody?

Ah, so it *is* in woody.

Great, thanks. We need to look into v3 of dhcpd it seems.

Right. That makes sense. I need to test that, but we only use the
dynamic addresses for a sort of catch-all so that clients that have not
been entered explicitly into dhcpd still can get a connection. So if
the schools need to tweak anything they need to make sure the ws is
registered with its MAC address.
Thanks for your response.
