I do not believe that the DHCP on the m0n0wall is intended to be a
full-blown DHCP server. I believe it is intended to offer basic DHCP
services to a home/soho network. If you need more functionality than
what the DHCP offers then don't enable the DHCP on the LAN and run your
own DHCP. 

I need the DHCP to be "Authorized" in my AD domain. M0n0wall's DHCP does
not fill this bill. I don't use the m0n0wall's DHCP - I use the DHCP on
my SBS 2003 Server.
