[Babel-users] autoritative statefull ahcpd question

All peers get configured from the authoritative data.  A non-auth peer
will send queries to get the data; an auth peer already has the data,
so it doesn't need to send queries.

Because I'm in the process of redesigning ahcp from scratch.  The new
protocol is much simpler and more modular, but somewhat more chatty.

Yes.

Yes.

No.  It's only needed if you want to pass extra options to babel.
Normally, it's not needed.

Yes, it's created automatically.  But /var/lib must exist.

See my previous mail -- you omitted the double colons ``::''.
