phpDHCPAdmin release & questions regarding dhcpd.conf syntax

[Jason Gerfen]

I hope you guys don't see this email as spam or a solicitation but I
have been working diligently on a new release for a piece of software
I have named phpDHCPAdmin.

It has quite a few features that might benefit administrators in large
networked environments. I have tried to adhere to the RFC documents
regarding the ISC DHCPD daemon and am ready for the tool to be tested.

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=102005

Some of the features I have included are listed here:
Multiple users
Multiple groups
Multiple access levels
Multiple subnets
Multiple PXE groups
Multiple DNS Zones

A ton more features are planned and a couple that I would like to
incorporate but have some questions regarding DNSSEC, failover and of
course the DNS Zone directives.

Here is a sample configuration file to help you see how robust I have
"attempted" to make this application.

** It is quite abbreviated
