Yikes.

Thanks for writing that up.  But ..

I have two servers, and some reservations, and the config files are stored in subversion.  So at present, when I create a reservation for a new machine, I just edit one file (duplicate & modify a line) and commit.  Svn post-commit hook then verifies integrity, and deploys to the mirror.  Very easy.

I can't believe there's this new dhcpmgr, dhcpconfig,  several config files, some binfiles that I presume I can't read or edit...  3+ packages that need to be installed...

I'm sure it's very powerful, and maybe can even do what I'm doing *even* better.  But that's very complicated and more than I want to invest.  It's no wonder I didn't get it working.
