Hi Simon,

Does this paragraph lack a preposition "by" early on the 2nd line, or am
I mis-guessing the purpose?

...enables allocation of addresses *by* the DHCP server...

The manual page also seems to offer room for linguistic improvement
(apparently written by a German, so I see the typical patterns, and also
the misuse of which vs. that.

I am attaching a patch series vs. git to fix several issues in the
manpage and CHANGELOG.
