Usually, there's something called a DHCP or BOOTP proxy or relay. You tell your router to forward all the DHCP/BOOTP client requests to the real DHCP/BOOTP server on its subnet. You'd have only 1 DHCP/BOOTP server. This is common & a standard router feature. I think Cisco calls it a BOOTP relay. >between its local DHCP clients and) a centralized >master server that maintains a single database? Unless your really want multiple, syncronized DHCP servers? I could see that in a WAN, but not on a LAN. Well, if there was alot of latency. > >If it sounds like I don't know what I'm talking >about, it's probably because I don't... -- ------- Tom Buskey ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
