Yup, in my experience multihoming simply doesn't work on a variety of levels. One of the ways in which it doesn't work is that the DHCP protocol doesn't really account for it. We kind of assume that a single DHCP server will be responsible for all prefixes that are advertised on the wire. We could come up with a way for two DHCP servers to elect a responsible server, or we could decide to expand DHCP to support multiple servers. I suspect the former solution is easier than the latter. _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
