[Gllug] dhcpd on 2 ethernet cards

[Ian Norton]

no, well,

(i read it somewhere and the win boxes cant get addresses if i remove it)

what i remember reading was (possibly old) windows machines operate on dhcp by broadcasting to 255.255.255.255,

all i know is that if i remove the route add only the linux and solaris boxen i
have get addresses, the win95/98 ones dont seem to be able to gain a lease, 

maybe its time for me to get a much newer dhcpd and compile :-)
