I'd soon like to modify the "mkdhcpserver" tool to deal with multiple subnets.
We could try and stick with the current question/answer bit, or we could use some other method. One idea is to tie the source information into a stateful config database. Which leads into a discussion we said we should have a long time ago, about something like ODA, maybe even ODA, that SystemImager could use to track all it's info, as well as SystemInstaller.
