Sorry this took so long but you know how it is...

The consensus is that

        1. DHCP server s/w does NOTcome with Solaris 2.x
        2. DHCP server s/w DOES come with Solstice PC/Admin
        3. There are free packages out there
        4. There are commercial ( for sale) packages out there
                SolarNET pcnfs was mentioned as one.
        5. The cheapest solution is SAMBA
        6. The best product is at http://www.fugue.com/dhcp/
                 

No one had any helpful hints on doing this, except for one person who pointed me
to an
FAQ at http://web.syr.edu/~jmwobus/comfaqs/dhcp.faq.html

We haven't made a decision yet, but since we are such a "mixed" shop, (Suns,
HPs, PCs, Macs and DECs) it looks like we will probably go with a PC running
Windows/NT since it comes with a DHCP package.
  
Thanks to the following for taking time to answer :

        Justin Young
        Michael Price
        Danny Lee
        Koen Peeters
        Alan Coopersmith
        Dave Miner
        Bevin Steer

My original question:
>
> Does Solaris 2.x come with a DHCP server package?
>
> And if not (or even if it does!) what is the best DHCP package out there to
run
> on a Sun?
>
> Would anyone have any experiences to share that would make our attempts to set
> one up easier?
>

Thanks again -
