Converting from Solaris's DHCPd?

In ISC dhcpd you can define options within different scopes, for example 
at a host, group, pool, subnet, class or global scope. All requests that 
are included in that scope inherit the options and settings. Generally 
this gives a very flexible approach. Is this the sort of thing you were 
expecting?

Generally ISC dhcpd works very well on Solaris. Note that versions of 
dhcpd prior to 4.1.1b3 did not work at all due to a DLPI bug. If you use 
4.1.1, 4.2.0 or any 3.1.x version you will be fine.
