I think he was looking more for a distributed LAN/management solution.

In reality, I do have to say that ISC's piecemeal DHCP and DNS servers
were really designed for the Internet, and not a management LAN.  Which
is why I think there really needs to be an integrated, private LAN-only
combinational layer 2 + layer 3 name services daemon.

So far, the only ones I've seen are either ADS-integrated, proprietary
or scripts/hacks around ISC DHCP+DNS.  The few proprietary ones I've
seen look pretty good though, but I've never deployed them.

It is mathematically impossible for someone who makes more than you
to be anything but richer than you.  Any tax rate that penalizes them
will also penalize you similarly (to those below you, and then below
them).  Linear algebra, let alone differential calculus or even ele-
mentary concepts of limits, is mutually exclusive with US journalism.
So forget even attempting to explain how tax cuts work.  ;->
