There are a couple of ways to handle this. If the second subnet is available locally, you could add a second interface to your cobbler server and have it serve dhcp to both subnets directly. You should be able to do this with either a physically separate interface or by VLAN tagging your existing interface so it has both subnets on it. What I do is ask my network engineer to set up a dhcp relay agent on each router that redirects dhcp requests to my cobbler server. This allows me to support not only subnets that are located at the same site, but also subnets across the WAN. We have pretty hefty WAN connections, so I load all my systems for three sites from one cobbler server. I currently have six subnets listed in my dhcpd.conf file. -- Owen Beckley - [email protected] - T: 630 482 5148 - M: 630 788 6998 _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
