Not if you only replace "DHCPD" with "Multiple DHCP Servers". I don't usually see "DHCPD" that much in Wikis or forum posts. _________________ Router: Asus RT-N18U (rev. A1)

from my R7000P log
Dec 31 19:00:19 DD-WRT user.info : [udhcpc] : successfully started
is that normal?
I have that line in my log as well. I believe udhcpc is monitoring WAN port's IP address change! IP addresses usually have lease time. While dnsmasq is responsible for the LAN (wired and wireless WLAN). Try the following command:
Code:
ps ax | grep -i -E 'dhcp|masq'

Blah, blah, blah, yamma, yamma. Really don't want to hear it. This is just *part* of what all for the love of DD-WRT and this community that has been occupying my (our) time here in this household.
It's not that I am ungrateful for anything either of you two have contributed, but please spare us this attitude. If neither of you want to do the work, someone will *gladly* do it with me. Why don't we focus on team mentality from this point forward, hmm? Seems that the "I" keeps getting in the way, and quite honestly, I can always forward every email sent to my complaints, wiki edits, dd-wrt contributions inbox to BrainSLayer by default. He'd probably get sick of the "f*ck so-and-so", "this is bullsh*t", etc. emails rather quickly. Really don't think either of you realize just how much of an effect things have had on this community, starting with well-laid intentions on my part (on everyone's part), but many folks are a heck of a lot more active in other communities thanks to the same ol' bullshit in this one. The general atmosphere of this community is not building anything positive. In other words, all the complaints against me did not change anything in this forum, because the problem still exists in other people.

dd-wrt is changing every couple of years if not months or weeks. I have seen some of the guides for this firmware being updated with something along the lines of "since build rxxxx its done this way now" or "if your using build before/after rxxxxx do it this way"
Your guides and screenshots are meaningless if they do not keep up with brainslayers changes to the firmware. _________________ For people who are new to the dd-wrt forums >> http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#rtfm

come on people... we are just talking about improving things we all have in common (ddwrt)... it is good to be versatile... let's try to respect different opinions... lets try not to be egoists... can someone make poll for voting and I will ask BS to change labeling...
dnsmasq is giving out IP addresses to LAN (wired) and WLAN(wireles), while udhcpc is getting IP address from WAN connected to ISP. That's also what I am seeing in my DD-WRT. _________________ Router: Asus RT-N18U (rev. A1)

Just do a search for "DHCPD" to see how unpopular it is. I don't remember anyone talking about "DHCPD" at all since I started using DD-WRT.
There are some posts explicitly about it in Atheros forum, but I think they knew they were actually talking about DNSmasq.
As long as the label change didn't overturn Wikis and forum posts, it will be fine.
BTW, a few old posts mentioned ["Additional DHCPd Options" field under the services]:

Not all of them actually talking about ISC DHCPD. Most of them are just using "DHCPD" as vague alias for "DHCP Server" or "DHCP Daemon".
And to be exact, it should be "DHCP Range"! DD-WRT has only one DHCP Server (called DNSmasq) for all the WLANs, VLANs and LANs, serving multiple IP address ranges (and classes?). Some users might think that each IP address range is served by one DHCP Server, and hence the idea "Multiple DHCP Servers".
