0003464: DHCP 4.1 does not work on some Solaris systems
There's a problem with DHCP 4.1 on Solaris and possibly some other OS:es. I have reports from two people that they can't get their old config (from 3.x) to work with 4.1. One has tested extensively by compiling 4.1 himself with exactly the same result so it's not unique to our package. He backed down to our old 3.1 package and all is well again.
Here's some threads from the DHCP mailing lists that mention this:

https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/dhcp-users/2008-December/007636.html [^]
https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/dhcp-users/2009-March/008227.html [^]
https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/dhcp-hackers/2009-March/001779.html [^]

One has a patch that might be worth trying. Problem is I can't reproduce the problem, in my environment it works just fine.

The new 4.1.1 seems to fix the problem but it's not a stable release from ISC yet. Here's links to beta 2:

Had the same problem. Upgraded from 3.1.0,REV=2007.10.29 to 4.1.1b2,REV=2009.08.13 and it works fine now. Using s10u3 and s10u7.

Not everyone has trouble with 4.1 but everyone who has seems to have it fixed with the 4.1.1 beta 2. I think 4.1.1 will go stable pretty soon, they released beta 3 in October.

Tested 4.1.1 on s10u3 and s10u7 working flawlessly for me.

Thank you.
