Currently DHCP clients have no way to assess which of DHCP OFFERS are from valid DHCP servers, and which are not. Malicious DHCP servers can cause various network problems for unsuspecting clients. In order to support DHCP server authorization a new DNS Resource Record type (ALLOC) is added. Using the ALLOC record in combination with the servers KEY record the client can authoritatively assess if the server is authorized.}, }
