I couldn't have said it better myself. I'd love to see how you
would tie a db to a web front-end to a DHCP server in NT without
extensive (not free?) information about the DHCP server API (if
it had one) or file format. Possibly NT DHCP servers keep their
data in flat text files - it'd be unusual, though - why give users
something useful if you can screw them for an upgrade if they
demand a new feature...
