I've been playing with WIDE-DHCP server 1.3 running on FreeBSD 2.17 and
was wondering if there's a way to specify a range of assignable IP
addresses or am I going to have to have a seperate line for each one.

We are replacing a DHCP server running on a Novell box with one of
FreeBSD due to reliability problems with the Novell DHCP.  The Novell
box however, does have to feature of allowing you to specify a range of
valid IP addresses (ie start=189.5.128.41 end=189.5.254.254).

Any help would be appreciated.
