(RADIATOR) Radiator with DHCP

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Chris -

It is not possible to do what you request, because as the reference 
manual states (section 6.65), DHCP uses privileged port numbers, hence 
must be run as root (or at least with root privileges).

It is also not possible to run the DHCP server on the same host as 
Radiator (also due to port numbers).

BTW - you should use the latest DHCP server from www.isc.org and use 
the SubnetSelectionOption.

If you have any other questions, please contact me directly.

regards

Hugh
