Paul,

Between 1.1.7 and 1.1.9 the dhcp.pl script was largely rewritten,
among the new features is support for multiple dhcp server groups.  In
order to support this you now have to add an attribute on your
"default" server group, or add the individual subnets to that group.
It looks like the conversion scripts for 1.1.7->1.1.8->1.1.9 missed
that step.

Go to the services page, click on service types, click on DHCP Server
Pool and add a new attribute type:
name: Default DHCP Service Pool
description: Is this the default service pool. If yes, receives all
un-allocated subnets.
scope: service
MaxN: 1
data format: enum(Yes) 	


Then go to your dhcp service group and add that attribute.
