Hi Jason,
As I am sure you know, it’s just an ISC dhcpd instance with some configuration
files populated from the packetfence conf/networks.conf file.
Nothing prevents you from editing the templates used to generate the
configuration (conf/dhcpd.conf) and adding subnets.
On the other hand, it’s putting all your eggs in that basket.
But if you’re not afraid of a little configuration file, then go ahead, by all
means.
Be aware though that we are currently experimenting with using FreeRADIUS 3 as
a dhcp server.
It’s not set in stone yet, but we may replace ISC dhcpd in the future.
FreeRADIUS is just more dynamic and would allow us to cut down on the number of
services running.
Regards
