Sorry if this is OT for this list, but let me see if I understand: are you
saying that FreeVPS' virtual network interfaces isolate TCP traffic, but not
UDP? And therefore dhcpd won't run in a FreeVPS VPS? Can this really be
true? I can't find any other mention of it, and
http://www.freevps.com/tracker.html says that FreeVPS has "private udp
socket lists".
If this is true it's very bad for FreeVPS.
Thanks,
Andrew.
