I ended up downloading, compiling, and smoke-testing the latest ISC DHCP without any build scripts (sorry Steffen).  Oddly enough, thanks to some work from Oracle for S11, ISC DHCP is far more suitable for Illumos and OmniOS than even I'd imagined in the first place.  It seemed to work okay for my simple smoke test, and if I don't so something more substantial in the next week, I'll give it a more thorough smoke test when we have company over to my house soon.

Would people be interested in seeing OmniOS ship with ISC DHCP?  Would people wish to be rid of the old Sun DHCP server?  (Or are there Sun Ray owners out there who use OmniOS to serve them?  IIRC, Sun Rays need the old Sun DHCP server.)

Thanks,
Dan
