Any idea of a time frame? I have been checking here since December. Your product is perfect for what I need but I must have DHCP support and unfortunately I am running out of time quickly. This needs to be up and running in the very near future.

before the end of this year, i'm sorry but I cannot be more precise.
You can implement DHCP client support yourself, but there is no "official" howto on it. Maybe ask in the "hackers" forum, some ppl have already done this.
It´s a pity, Astaro´s ASL is a great product but it seem that the company lacks commercial savvy. Imagine you never know when features which potential customers are begging for since Jan/2000 will be implemented !! I read tons of messages asking for DHCP client and PPPOE support both necessary for now popular ADSL connections. Astaro answers such pleas with "Wait", "we don´t know....", etc. Come on guys you have a GREAT product I can´t belive it´s so dificult to slip in these features in version 2.0 or maybe you can publish hacks to ASL that permit such features. I´m willing to write and mentain How-tos on the subject.
PS. I have spent the past 3 days trying to hack a DHCP client and PPPOE into astaro with out much success. (I keep losing the ADSL link). I´m fustrated !!
You could just buy a cheap router that supports DHCP such as the netgear RT311 it is about a hundred bucks and works good for this application let Astaro do what it does best and give some of the responsibility to a simple router.
