+> dhcpd-never-broadcast.diff
+
+When using DHCP in routed networks, the router has to participate in rewriting
+and sending DHCP replies on to the user. Unfortunately, some devices,
+in particular Cisco's Nexus series of switches, drop such DHCP reply packets
+with the broadcast bit in the flags field of the DHCP message header set.
+Thi means that some operating systems, in particular Microsoft Windows Vista,
+can have problems getting DHCP to work in such environments. If you enable
+this flag, the DHCP server will never set the broadcast flags in the replies
+it sends, even if the client set the broadcast flag. This flag overrides
+the never-broadcast flag if both are set.
