Yes, this is possible. Earlier ISC daemons had problems dealing with 1514-byte requests of the JavaStations, while the Solaris server was able to handle them without problems. Also, former users of JavaOS may already have their Solaris DHCP server active, and wish to keep things on one machine. Here is how to configure it: First, fill in your /var/dhcp/”networks” file, populating it with ethernet to IP info, and the appropriate leastime.
