Eh ? You cannot NOT specify a range for one simple reason - the server needs to know what addresses in the subnet it is allowed to issue to clients. This is NOT the same as "all addresses in the subnet" since there MUST be not less than one address in use by either a router or the DHCP server itself. Unlike some other systems, this package doesn't "guess" (with all the non-deterministic problems that can cause) - it relies on the administrator to tell it what the setup should be.<br>

Like your earlier queries, I'm really struggling to understand why you are going out of your way to make things difficult for yourself.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br></div></div></blockquote><div>Right, it should always pick the free address from the pool for that subnet. Its the requirements I have which define such behaviour. So I am basically writing a software which will write a conf file given the set of rules. thanks. <br>
