Hmm.. interesting things to think about.

My dhcpd.conf is really cut and dry:

option subnet-mask              255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address        192.168.0.255;
option routers                  192.168.0.1;
option domain-name-servers      68.87.85.98 , 68.87.69.146;
option ip-forwarding    false;  # No IP forwarding
option mask-supplier    false;  # Don't respond to ICMP Mask req

# LN
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        next-server 192.168.0.2;
        filename "pxelinux.0";
        range 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.150;
        range dynamic-bootp 192.168.0.151 192.168.0.155;
        }

I initially thought that it was, but the DHCPDISCOVER and the
DHCPOFFER packets are the only two exhcanged.  No DHCPNAK or anything
like that.  Would using the if statement fix this?

Thanks for such quick replies!
