      Hi,

      I got this in my pfsense system log. I had this in the past days one or two times but I ignored it.
      Now it is there again I I just wnat to know what this means. I do not have any problems as far as I know.

        Did you specify any custom DHCPd options?

        What does /var/dhcpd/etc/dhcpd.conf look like?
