"Great Content, Lousy Editor" according to A Customer. I purchased this book on the way to the airport in transit to yep, fixing a distributed DHCP server problem. I found a great deal of useful information in the book, and after having read the book, I am considered an expert among most mortals.The book successfully turns the RFCs on the subject into readable text, and liberal use of footnotes are there to explain some of the more esoteric notions, and shows packet formation, which is a valuable visual aid.Unfortunately, I also found an unacceptable number of editing errors. Kercheval (author) has done a very good job with presenting the inf. Where is the depth? This book gives a good overview of dhcp in the first 5 or 6 chapters but is definately not a "definitive guide". The trouble is I really felt a lot of detail was left out.After about page 60 (halfway thru the book if you dont count the appendices) things really started to get a bit light on detail. The SINGLE chapter on configuring dhcp servers covered how define multiple addresss ranges but seemed to skip the details of how to get the server to choose which range to allocate to a particular client. The chapters on DDNS and LDAP seemed to do little more than say what DDNS and LDAP are.I w. A Customer said NOT WORTH THE MONEY. I bought this book in hopes in would help me understand dhcp for the mcse exams. Well, I was wrong. $NOT WORTH THE MONEY A Customer I bought this book in hopes in would help me understand dhcp for the mcse exams. Well, I was wrong. $45 down the drain. This book has no more information than any of the other tcp/ip books on the subject of dhcp. Dont let the dollar price fool you into thinking your getting a good book. Needless to say, I was very disappointed in this book.. 5 down the drain. This book has no more information than any of the other tcp/ip books on the subject of dhcp.

. Internet Draft Notice Sometimes I refer to Internet Drafts which are both the most current source of Internet information and the most unstable. Chapter 11 finishes off with a look at what's going on in the IETF working group. From the Inside Flap Preface This book explains the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference material or to cite them other than as "work in progress." To learn the current status of any Internet-Draft, please check the "1id-abstracts.txt" listing contained in the Internet-Drafts Shadow Directories on ftp (Africa), nicrdu (Europe), munnari.oz (Pacific Rim), dsernic (US East Coast), or ftpi (US West Coast). They include systems, programs, databases, back-ends, front-ends, user interfaces — in short, the entire system. After a high-level introduction, we'll take a look at the BOOTP protocol in Chapter 2, which is the foundation on which DHCP was built. At the appropriate poi
