has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
(provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
[ISC-Bugs #23470] - Modify when an ignore return macro is defined to
handle unsed error return warnings for more versions of gcc.
[ISC-Bugs #23196] - Modify the reply handling in the server code to
send to a specified port rather than to the source port for the incoming
message. Sending to the source port was test code that should have
been removed. The previous functionality may be restored by defining
REPLY_TO_SOURCE_PORT in the includes/site.h file. We suggest you don't
enable this except for testing purposes.
[ISC-Bugs #22695] - Close a file descriptor in an error path.
[ISC-Bugs #19368] - Tidy up variable types in validate_port.
[ISC-Bugs #17959] add text to AIX section describing how to have it send
responses to the all-ones address.
[ISC-Bugs #19615] update the includes in dhcpctl/dhcpctl.3 to be more correct
[ISC-Bugs #20676] update dhcpd.conf.5 to include the RFC numbers for DDNS
- set initial delay to 0 to speed up client start
- added 'initial-delay' parameter to possibly revert to old behavior
- better handling of very short (1 or 2s) leases
- client lease records are recorded at most once every 15 seconds
- ICMP ping-check is now timed more precisely
- Servers that don't offer lease-time are now black-listed
[ISC-Bugs #19660]
to disable writing a pid file. Add the option "-pf pidfile"
to the relay to allow the user to supply the pidfile name at
runtime. Add the "with-relay6-pid-file" option to configure
to allow the user to supply the pidfile name for the relay
in v6 mode at configure time.

an address that is tagged as abondened (meaning we received a
decline request for it previously) don't attempt to move it from
the inactive to active pool as doing so can result in the server
crshing on an assert failure. Also retag the lease as active
and reset it's timeout value.
[ISC-Bugs #21921]
Previously a connection request from a source that wasn't
listed as a failover peer would cause the server to become
non-responsive. [ISC-Bugs #22679]
CERT: VU#159528 CVE: CVE-2010-3616
the end of the max-life and preferred-life clauses. In order to be
backwards compatible with older lease files not finding a semi-colon
is also accepted. [ISC-Bugs #22303].
[ISC-Bugs #20418] - Some systems don't support the "%s" argument to
strftime, paste together the same string using mktime instead.
[ISC-Bugs #19596] - When parsing iaid values accept printable
characters.
[ISC-Bugs #21585] - Always print time values in omshell as hex
instead of ascii if the values happen to be printable characters.
[ISC-Bugs #19566] When trying to find the zone for a name for ddns allow
the name to be at the apex of the zone.
[ISC-Bugs #19617] Restrict length of interface name read from command line
in dhcpd - based on a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
[ISC-Bugs #20039] Correct some error messages in dhcpd.c
[ISC-Bugs #20070] Better range check on values when creating a DHCID.
[ISC-Bugs #20198] Avoid writing past the end of the field when adding
overly long file or server names to a packet and add a log message
if the configuration supplied overly long names for these fields.
[ISC-Bugs #21497] Add a little more randomness to rng seed in client
was also configured. The nature of this repair also fixes another
error; the host-name supplied by a client is no longer overridden by a
reverse lookup of the lease address. Thanks to a patch from Wilco Baan
Hofman supplied to us by the Debian package maintenance team.
[ISC-Bugs #21691] {Debian Bug#509445}
[ISC-Bugs #20265] [ISC-Bugs #20259] minor cleanup
[ISC-Bugs #20263] add text describing some default values
[ISC-Bugs #20193] single quotes at the start of a line indicate a control
line to nroff, escape them if we actually want a quote.
[ISC-Bugs #18916] sync the pointer to web pages amongst the different docs
previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]
Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.

DDNS code to use the bind libraries. This patch fixes that breakage and
includes support for the new DDNS code. This patch also deletes some dead
code and neatens up some log messages.
which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
entry for each lease. [ISC-Bugs #19601]
fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
over-riding vlaues were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
configuration. [ISC-Bugs #20069]
