Looks like we're not the only ones that have been bitten by this new  
behavior:

     http://weblog.barnet.com.au/edwin/000110.html

There may be a reason for the change, and I'm kind of wondering if we  
might be able to say something like:

     if ( we_have_the_dhcp_server_address AND  
no_next_server_specified ) {
          next_server = dhcp_server_address;
          print ("invalid next_server_address, using address of dhcp  
server.");
     }

I could see the argument that it might be better to have people fix  
their dhcpd 3.0.3 configs, but...

Looks like the updating of the web page sub-project just got more  
urgent.  Actually, a SourceForge news item on the project page might  
be just the thing, along with a link from the home page.
