Bugzilla Bug 85808

It would be really nice if there where syntax highlighting for the dhcpd.conf
file in vim.
I don't know how big a task it would be to implement :)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=744

^^ try that. If it's any good I'll make a -syntax package for it.

I tried downloading it to /usr/share/vim/vim63/syntax and run vim on
dhcpd.conf, but it highlights nothing, is there something I should do to "load"
the syntax file?

You'll need to do :setf dhcpd for now. If we go with this one I'll add an
ftdetect file for it that'll do this for you.

It works nice, though it cannot tell if I define two servers as etc.
ntp-servers like this:
option ntp-servers 193.162.159.194, 192.168.3.1;
"option ntp-servers" is green.
"193.162.159.194," is white (should be red).
"192.168.3.1;" is red.

How's that?

Yep, that works :)
