--- Comment #5 from Duffyx <driesm.michiels at gmail.com> ---
The problem is that the rc.d script does not take -c /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf
with its flags when you overwrite them in rc.conf. If you want to specify
additional flags to dhcpd you will have to start them with "-c
/usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf" in rc.conf.

for example:
 dhcpd_enable="YES"
 dhcpd_flags="-c /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf extraflagshere"

I feel like the rc.d script should be extended to always give the program the
following flags: "-c /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf" and then the extra flags should
be passed by dhcpd_flags="extraflagshere".

Could this be implemented? Or a similar dhcpd_interfaces="" in rc.conf as
isc-dhcpd. The interfaces should just be appended to the start command.

I'll take a look at this when time permits.
