[non-SUMMARY] Solaris DHCP: Addresses becoming unusable

Sorry, long overdue. Never did get a resolution. All the
replies I received were either "us too, use ISC DHCP" or 
"send more info". I punted and went with ISC DHCP, we are 
very happy with it. Very flexible and easy configuration, 
supports MAC filtering.
