Hi Nick,
Good questions there on the dhcpcd mailing list. That answers about all the
questions I could think of for how we're supposed to use dhcpcd.
One specific question to vyos then is: do we entirely replace use of
dhcpcd? While this might be more work and testing required, it sounds like
we'd be hacking around the existing system rather than providing a good
design. If dhcpcd is designed as a single daemon to handle dual stack and
multi interface, I would be inclined to embrace it for all dhcp client
uses. Any thoughts here?
Cheers
Patrick
