Hello list,

I do not really follow the discussion, but I accidentally found some old IETF 
documents related to DHCP<->LDAP integration.

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dhc-schema-02 (Microsoft, 2000)
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dhc-ldap-schema-00 (Novell, 2001)

I have met various texts about DHCP-LDAP integration in Novell's "Open 
Enterprise Server 11"/eDirectory documentation. Is somebody familiar with this 
aspect of eDirectory? Should we think about some interoperability? I don't 
know if there are some stand-alone tools for DHCP LDAP administration.

Some docs:
