Sorry, I misunderstood. I like the concept of other protocols using server_id as a fall back when no server IP is given in their arguments (ie nbd::9000 would use port 9000 on the DHCP server) as it makes it easier to share configs among DHCP servers. I suspect others will find it confusing, though. > > $1 used to be $netif, so we'd get /tmp/iscsiroot.eth0.1234.out. Now we'd > > get /tmp/iscsiroot.root=iscsi:..:blah.1234.out instead.
