-> 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.
