The reason is that I believe this is more up-to-date, flexible and offers better scaling.
If necessary to get started with ISC-DHCP consider the following topcis:
Take a snapshot of the system before beginning (just in case).
It may be wise to take more, even partials, along with each later steps.
# zfs snapshot -r rpool@backup
# zfs destroy rpool/swap@backup
# zfs destroy rpool/dump@backup
Mount the Solaris 10 optical media on the Custom JumpStart server:
# ll /cdrom

dr-xr-xr-x 2 root sys ... sol_10_811_x86

Create ZFS a dataset hierarchy and start putting installation stuff onto them:
# zfs create -o mountpoint=/install rpool/export/install
# ./setup_install_server /install

Now it's necessary to set up certain shares:
# zfs set sharenfs='anon=0,sec=sys,ro' rpool/export/install
# zfs set sharenfs='anon=0,sec=sys,ro' rpool/export/jumpstart
# zfs set sharenfs='ro' rpool/export/package
# zfs set sharenfs='ro' rpool/export/patch
# zfs set sharenfs='ro' rpool/export/config
# zfs get -s local -d 1 sharenfs rpool/export
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
rpool/export/install sharenfs anon=0,sec=sys,ro local
rpool/export/jumpstart sharenfs anon=0,sec=sys,ro local
rpool/export/package sharenfs ro local
rpool/export/patch sharenfs ro local
rpool/export/config sharenfs ro local

- /install anon=0,sec=sys,ro ""
- /jumpstart anon=0,sec=sys,ro ""
- /patch sec=sys,ro ""
- /package sec=sys,ro ""
- /config sec=sys,ro ""
IMPORTANT
Remember to exit from /cdrom/sol_10_811_x86/Solaris_10/Tools
Otherwise one may get trouble related to optical media dependencies.
# cd
# eject
# ll /cdrom

If the intent is to apply ZFS Flash Archives (flash install), patch the boot miniroot.
As next steps, configure rules & profiles and associate the clients.
