DHCP Server - Additional Options

After getting my 2 new ReadyNAS 2100s installed and configured at the remote sites, I would like to request a few additional options to the DHCP server. Most have been requested before, so this is more of a *bump*:

DCHP Reservations / Static Leases - A nice feature to have to keep an IP address assigned to a particular MAC address. Noted in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=15879&p=83740#p83740

It seems to be an available option in the conf file. More info here: http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busy ... 05506.html

DCHP Exclusions - Related to the above, but more useful when you need to block out some assigned static IPs in the middle of the DHCP block.

View active leases - currently, the leases are stored in binary format in /var/lib/misc/udhcpd.leases, which requires the dumpleases tool to view the current leases:

Grantham-NAS:/var/lib/misc# dumpleases -f /var/lib/misc/udhcpd.leases
