do not respond to DHCPINFORM requests

[Friesen, Don CITZ:EX]

   I simply do not put any options in the “shared-network” or “subnet” blocks.  I place all my options in the “pool” and “group” blocks.  Except for the default route, which I persist in placing in the “subnet” block, but I have to keep in mind that any DHCPINFORM would wipe out any non-standard default routing, which I fortunately do not have any instances of.

Hi Glenn,

Thank you for your advise. It seems like a viable workaround for my Windows 7 machines issue.

However, I also used DHCPINFORM's for assigning hostnames to my lab computers after their re-imaging, and unfortunately your solution will not help in that case, so I'm still going to revise the server's code and try to fix it if it won't take to much time and effort.

Cheers,
