Short answer: RTFM, NO, YES. Long answer: In case you want to segments on the same ethernet card, assign it an address from the second address segment too (not necessarily, but easier for now). In case you already have eth0: addr 192.168.10.1 then do # ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.20.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up and done. Adapt your dhcpd.conf that it also has an subnet 192.168.20.x, but that is described in the manuals AFAIK. If you encounter problems, feel free to send me your dhcpd.conf and I will put my fingers on it. You do not need two separate network cards, though that can be reasonable for performance (100 Mbit can be saturated! "More tastes better"....). You can of course decide on a per-machine-base which operating system to load, by using the conditionals in dhcpd V3 or by having host statements. Hint: If all diskless' have 3com cards and all vxworks machines have RTL based boards, you can distinguish these groups by the first three bytes of their hardware addresses. The docs are difficult in some point, but you can find the information if you really look for it. Again, no problem to just look into it and patch a few lines in if you cannot find out yourself how to do it. Best regards, Anselm mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
