it's not documented, but it seems you can use
	ip/dhcpd [dhcpd-options] addr0 n0 [addr1 n1 ...]
to allocate n0 addresses starting with addr0, n1 from addr1, etc.

it uses similarly named files in /lib/ndb/dhcp to track them.

addresses are allocated only if there isn't a static binding in ndb.
it also tries to check that any dynamic address is not still in use.

does it work?
i don't know.  i haven't tried it myself.

Can dhcpd give out leases from an address range to anonymous requesters
(i.e.  no 'ip=', 'ether=' mapping in /lib/ndb/local)?

I tried it. My limited testing shows that it works. Thanks.

Yes it works, that's how we hand out dynamic addresses here.  I rewrote
the man page.  Grab ftp://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9dist/dhcpd.
