I have a very large network say Class A. I have Linux DHCP and Microsoft DHCP servers deployed. I am successful in querying Microsoft DHCP server but Is there any way to Query LINUX DHCP server to get a list of all leased IP/Hostnames using C#?

what 'flavor' of Linux/DHCP Server? Can you access the machine, possibly to write as script, grep a log etc? – lexu Oct 20 '10 at 6:24

I want a generic code that works on any Linux DHCP server. I can not do anything on LINUX DHCP server. All I need to do is just by sitting on client side. – Algo Oct 20 '10 at 7:31

Should be possible using the same win32 api, but maybe it's more protected, do you have some king of authentication on linux DHCP?

Maybe it just reject the client query

Yes I have some authentication and I don't have SSH access over DHCP. In other words it is very secure. – Algo Oct 21 '10 at 4:47

there is an API for the dhcpd called omapi. Here there is info about how to do stuff in C: http://www.linuxmanpages.com/man3/omapi.3.php . I have absolutely no idea if you can query it in c#.
