I am in a mixed environment where the main DNS/DHCP is run on Windows machines and controlled by other folks.
I want to explore the possibility of running my own DHCP with dnsmasq on my Cobbler Server so that I do not have to wait for the cooperation of the Windows Admin to be able to PXE-boot my Linux machines. The network environment is such that all the Cobbler/PXE action takes place on a single subnet defined by a single value of the third octet of the IP address ( xxx.xxx.(my sub-net).xxx) What I am looking for are the necessary considerations to co-exist peacefully on the network with the other DHCP server. I do not need to run my own DNS but it would speed up my tasking if I could do the DHCP/PXE setup myself. “Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.” Bill Waterson (Calvin & Hobbes) _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
