    Is there any way to make the DHCP server ONLY hand out static maps? I don’t want unknown clients to get an IP address.

    Our IPs are segregated in such a way to ease future subnetting, so there are lots of big gaps. I suppose I could create dummy mappings for each of those IPs, but that hardly seems like much fun.

    I’ve tried setting both the starting and ending IP address to a.b.c.0. That appeases the Server Admin GUI, and seems to work, but I don’t know what the daemon will think of that. Do you know what DHCP daemon Leopard uses? or where the “subnets” configuration is stored?

    Never mind, that just made it hand out the IP ending in .0 which is, uh, not what I want.

    To answer my previous question, the daemon is bootpd and the config is in /etc/bootpd.plist. man bootpd says there is an “allocate” keyword which can be set to false. I haven’t tested it yet.
