My take on the whole thing, is that the Sun DHCP server is perfect for JumpStart, but for Enterprise class deployments, I would recomend another solution. (Either ISC-DHCP or a commercial package like QIP). So, if we were to integrate ISC-DHCP, one of the first priorities, would be to integrate it into JumpStart, which is currently not Open Sourced. (I hope that can be remedied easily enough). -Brian
