Hi,

Anyone know if there is a fundamental reason why we can't wholesale 
replace the Sun/Oracle dhcp client with the ISC one?  If we don't get 
any updates downstream from Oracle we will never get features like ipv6 
prefix delegation.  This feature is becoming important as some big ISPs 
(i.e. Comcast) are using this to delegate IPV6 blocks to their 
business/personal customers.

If the answer is that I should be able to replace it, the next question 
is if anyone has done this before and how difficult this would be to do.

Gary
