Subject

disabled DCHP lookup in slpsrv

Info

The SLP server of HELIOS UB uses (in addition to static configuration
and multicasts) also DHCP to find Directory Agents in the network
and to get SLP scope information (as described in RFC 2610).
This DHCP lookup is now disabled by default, because it seems to trigger
problems in some DHCP servers, which compromise the ARP entries when
sending a reply to the SLP server.
The new preference "Programs/slpsrv/dhcpDADetection" (type bool) can
be set to "true" do enable the DHCP lookup again.
