This message is to announce the first beta release of the Internet
Software Consortium DHCP Server (ISC dhcpd).

ISC dhcpd is a DHCP server which implements the latest IETF DHCP
working group draft of the DHCP protocol (except DHCPINFORM and Vendor
Classes), as well as implementing the BOOTP protocol for backward
compatibility.

The current release of ISC dhcpd has been built successfully on
NetBSD, BSD/OS and Ultrix, and should be relatively easy to get
running on other systems -- particularly POSIX-compliant systems.

The source to the ISC dhcpd server is available at
ftp://www.isc.org/pub/dhcp/DHCPD-BETA-0.tar.gz.

For more information about the Internet Software Consortium, see
http://www.isc.org/isc.

ISC dhcpd was tested this past week at Connectathon, and interoperated
successfully with all of the DHCP clients that were available there
for testing.  Many thanks to Audrey van Belleghem for getting me in to
Connectathon, to Mike Carney for running the DHCP Bakeoff and spending
a lot of time helping me to track down bugs in my implementation, and
to all the participants in the Bakeoff for trying their clients
against my server and pointing out protocol errors.
