First off, I should say that I am a big fan of the DHCP server (bootpd) bundled with Mac OS X Server. It is a great solution for small networks (eg. home or small office networks), as it is rock solid, and management via the Server Admin GUI makes configuration and management easy. However, having run the DHCP server bundled with Mac OS X Server on a 2000 node network for two years, management started getting…complicated. To make a long story short, while the Server Admin GUI interface is great for small networks with one or two subnets, once you start pushing out many subnets with large numbers of statically assigned IP addresses, that interface becomes a monster to maintain.

Easter Eggs
Am I the only one that find the idea of human-sized rabbits, that lay colored eggs and break into your house to leave chocolate and other goodies? At least my son agrees with me and thinks so…granted, he’s 2-years old. While he was non-interested (and by non-interested I mean scared to death) of the Easter Bunny again this year, he was VERY interested in dying Easter eggs. He even understood the concept this time around, unlike last year when he wanted to smash the eggs and drink that nasty water, vinegar and egg dye concoction.
