[ale] DHCP config

[David Hamm]

Below is the dhcpd.conf file I use as the base when I setup a dhcp server on
our network.
default-lease-time 259200; max-lease-time 518400;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-name-servers 10.1.1.1, 10.1.1.100, 10.1.1.200;
option domain-name "atlanta.itserve.com";

subnet 10.6.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        option routers 10.6.1.1;
        #option netbios-name-servers 10.1.1.211;
        #option netbios-node-type 0x08;
        range 10.6.1.100 10.6.1.250;
}
