Hi we are running a BSDI 2.1 box as a primary nameserver. I noticed
that DHCP is also included, but not really mentioned in the manual. We
have a ton of Win95 machines that have their IP addresses entered
manually, which is an accounting hassle. Would the included DHCP work
with Win95 workstations. Anyone care to comment on the general
functionality?

Thanks!
