While getting 2.09pre4 ready for rollout I have been working towards better
supporting a multi-homed host. In the past I could'nt use a single lts.conf file
to host multiple subnets easily (ie without putting the host server directive
for each client)
I basically need the client to mount the side of the host that is local to the
client as the subnets are not routed.
I seem to have it working fine by getting rid of using the SERVER variable in
the lts.conf and using the server-identifier dhcp.conf keyword.
The clients now mount the correct address on each subnet and from that derive
the default server to get the XDM/XFS etc from
The dhcpd.conf subnet section looks like this
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 21600;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
option routers 192.168.0.254;
option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386";
server-identifier 192.168.0.254; <<-- this line added
}
The rc.local,rc.setupx & rc.setupx3 is modified to this.
# GET THE SERVER ADDRESS FROM /proc/mounts
ROOT_SERVER=`grep ' / ' /proc/mounts | cut -d: -f 1` # IP address of root server
DEFAULT_SERVER=`get_cfg SERVER $ROOT_SERVER`
#DEFAULT_SERVER=`get_cfg SERVER 192.168.0.254`
The SERVER directive can then be left out of the lts.conf file and the config
file is then quite agnostic about which subnet the client is on.
You might consider putting this capability into the standard distribution in the
future.
