We don’t recommend it, because we feel people with large production networks 
would be better off owning their DHCP service and knowing how it works.
It also means you may have to get your hands dirty a bit and edit some of the 
files in /usr/local/pf/conf that are used to generate the dhcp configuration 
since PacketFence generates a dhcpd config optimized for it’s own uses.
But there is no technical reason why it would not work.

PacketFence uses ISC dhcpd as it’s dhcp server.
That should be good enough for most people.

If the patch Julien sent works, there will be no need to do anything special or 
mention it in the guide.
