issuing IPs in an "unknown subnet"

[Jason Penton]

Hi All,

Is dhcpd able to issue IP addresses to clients in a network the dhcpd
server doesnt know about. For example, if DHCP requests are coming
from a DHCP relay agent. Now the problem is that everything I have
tried results in the dhcp server failing on startup because the ip
range is not in a "valid" network or at least a network that the
server doesnt know about.

I have managed to get round this using the following:

subnet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 {

}

but this seems like a hack to me. Is this correct, acceptable?

any other solutions?

Kind regards
Jason
