The DNS and DHCP services in OES 11 SP2 have been modified to run on 64-bit SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 SP3. In addition to bug fixes, DNS and DHCP services provide the following enhancements and behavior changes in the OES 11 SP2 release:
In the DHCP_Template for DHCP cluster resources, the PID file location was changed to /var/lib/dhcp/var/run/dhcpd.pid. This is the location used by DHCP since OES 11 SP1. The change applies automatically to any newly created DHCP cluster resources.
The following line in the load script for the DHCP_Template was modified to use the $MOUNT_POINT variable that is defined at the beginning of the script:
exit_on_error /opt/novell/dhcp/bin/cluster_dhcpd.sh -m $MOUNT_POINT

The Java Console now enables you to delete dynamic leases. For more information, see "Deleting Dynamic Leases" in the OES 11 SP2: Novell DNS/DHCP Services for Linux Administration Guide
The DHCP server maintenance utility command now offers the -es option. For information, see “DHCP Server Maintenance Utility” in the OES 11 SP2: Novell DNS/DHCP Services for Linux Administration Guide.
