I need to find the best way to serve multiple networks from one DHCP server.
I have a server with two Gbps NIC's and I want one NIC to server an IP pool on the 192.168.10.255 network and the other to server an IP pool on the 192.168.20.255 network. Each Gbps NIC will be connected to it's own un-managed switch. Yes I know that most people would like to say how I can use a managed switch and do a VLAN but that is not what I am wanting to do. I have done something like this in the past where I can serve different networks from the same DHCP out to as many as 4 NIC's. This is a great low cost way to share the network traffic load between multiple NIC's. In the past I have only been able to do this by setting the MAC address to a static IP address that will put the clients onto the correct network. What I really want to do is have some way to tell dhcpd to use a different group of configurations for each interface so that as a request comes in on each interface the dhcpd would know to associate that interface with a group in the dhcpd.conf file. I could run multiple dhcpd's each with a different dhcpd.conf but I would rather not. Does anyone know of a good way to do this? For any one that would rather use a web forum I have posted this here also. http://llug.linux.ab.ca/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=25 Royce Souther www.SiliconTao.com Let Open Source help your business move beyond.
