Description

Hello,

I have a range managed by a DHCP server. All the hosts in this range have a static DHCP assignment.
Each time I was adding a new host, I had to change the pool size, ie. from x.x.x.90-x.x.x.93
Today, I have to allocate the last available IP address in the range, and there's no way:
-Static assignment cannot overlap with pool range
-Pool range cannot be outside interface's range/cannot be on the broadcast address)
-Pool range cannot be deactivated.

As a workaround, I will statically configure the IP address on the host.

I am using
2.1-BETA0 (amd64)
built on Wed Aug 15 08:43:33 EDT 2012
FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p4

Suggested fix: allow the DHCP server to have no assigned pool, or allow static mappings to overlap.
(which definitively would make things easier to me since my procedure to allocate an IP is to boot the server, checkout the lease in the DHCP Lease view and make it static).

Thx,

Aris
