Hello,

I use dnsmasq to setup simple single subnet networks.. but I can I use
to replace Isc with 20+ subnets and a few shared-networks?

Each shared-network/subnet looks something like this:

shared-network PHSINST {
## PHS INST_0
subnet 10.20.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
	option domain-name "inst.phs.pcsd";
	option routers 10.20.0.1;

	pool {
		deny unknown clients;
		range 10.20.0.3 10.20.0.3;
		} # close pool

	} # close subnet

	group {
		option something;
		host name { hardware ethernet 00:00:00:00:00:00; fixed-address 1.2.3.2; }
		host name1{ hardware ethernet 1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8; }
	} # close group

host one { hardware ethernet 1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8; }
host two { hardware ethernet 1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8; }


## PHS INST_100
subnet 10.20.100.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
	option domain-name "inst100.phs.pcsd";
	option routers 10.20.100.1;

	pool {
		deny unknown clients;
		range 10.20.100.2 10.20.100.7;
		} # close pool

	} # close subnet

	group {
		option something;
		host name { hardware ethernet 00:00:00:00:00:00; fixed-address 1.2.3.2; }
	}

host one { hardware ethernet 1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8; }
host two { hardware ethernet 1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8; }

} # close shared network PHSINST

I have something like 3500+ lines in dhcpd config.  As well as
netbios-node-type and netbios-name-servers.

Or is something of this size just better done w/ Isc?

I would be looking to do this to learn more about dhcpd.

We would be running this on FreeBSD 6.x

Thanks in advance.
