@marcelloc:

I'll pull the code once more to get merged on 2.3 .

Great news! Thanks for not giving up.

Any update on a dhcp-options related fix to the code for 2.3?

Let us know when it is merged and I'll transfer the funds.

Awesome! I'll send $50 as well when it's ready for merge again.

What can we do to get the devs to actually put this into pfSense instead of relying on a bounty?

kapara

Have you tried calling them? PfSense? I am sure someone at Netgate…etc might be able to get a response...

Any luck getting the changes made?

I'm still interested and willing to pay.

After discuss privately with @marcelloc he agreed to submit a fresh patch, tested on 2.3, and I'll review it as soon as it lands here

Is the "fresh patch" going to be integrated in 2.4?

Hi Folks,
I've done a little of my own work in getting more flexibility into the DHCPD configuration of pfsense. I've only gone as far as allowing static mappings on ipalias subnets in my submission, but have some code which also allows for creation of ipalias subnet ranges. The reason I haven't released that bit is because of how complicated it gets to validate the new ranges within the existing codebase without a big refactor. Please have a look and let me know what you think.

Cheers!
Colin

This is my pull request to RELENG_2_3_4 with the changes:

hi, any news about this?
I need a solution for multiples subnets on the same lan, anyone working with?

This thread is from 2014-2017... And for version 2.3 that is now EOL! Or even OLDER and no longer supported - so I doubt it.

I doubt this will ever be brought into pfsense to be honest... If you need to run a dhcp server like this - then run your own dhcp server.. Could be as cheap as firing up a PI on your network for a couple of bucks.

i was also looking for something like this

I think this should be a feature in PF-Sense.
Disabled by default, but advanced users should be able to benefit from it.

I'm sure Netgate would love to receive a patch, that introduces that functionality.

I for one would not like to make a GUI interface that would cover the kazillion possibilities in the ISC-DHCP-Server.

I am not using pfSense DHCP-Server at home , but run my own ISC-DHCP-Server on two Linux servers Active/Stby, where the Stby is a little "Orange Pi Zero".

So as @johnpoz mentioned , this is easily done with a Raspberry Pi.
But do your self a favour , and use the cabled interface , not wireless.

@bingo600
I'm using a HP workstation with 3 NICs as firewall (firewall alone, not a router), none is wireless.
I'm a network engineer, installed PFa few days ago and I noticed it doesn't support this feature.
I have no clue what you mean by "use this not that".

Have a good day,
N

@ethereal
I was referring to the Raspberry Pi network interface , if you chose that for running ISC-DHCP-Server.
Some might chose to get the cheaper "wireless only" Raspberry board.
