Merge. I am not certain from reading the article whether this igmoplectic fizmobulator is a standard part of DHCP or simply a feature of one implementation of it. If it's a standard feature, I'd say redirect this to DHCP. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:36, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect The OMAPI protocol is not part of DHCP, but is part of the reference dhcpd implementation put out by the Internet Systems Consortium. For sources, I found a reference page on OMAPI created by IPAM, and a blog which gives advice on using OMAPI. The first source is a reliable secondary, indepth reference, but the second is unreliable by WP standards. The manpage is reliable and indepth, but is a primary source. At this point, the topic seems subthreshold for WP:GNG notability in a standalone article. But the topic certainly has the verifiability for a merge or redirect to the DHCPD article. I've taken the liberty of merging the verifiable information from the OMAPI article into the DHCPD article, so a simple redirect is all that is needed.

- Don't forget to look in books. There's stuff about OMAPI in ISBN 9780672323270. Uncle G (talk) 22:45, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thanks for the book reference, Uncle G! We now seem to have two reliable sources, so perhaps a call for a redirect was premature. I have added both your reference and the IPAM reference to the OMAPI article. Mark viking (talk) 23:08, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
