Hello list, from time to time, people have the problem that there are two dhcp-servers on their segment. Etherboot manages this without problems (require-VCI-Etherboot is one way, the requirement for a filename to be specified is another one - at least in the 5.1 branch, it should be done this way). Now many such solutions cannot work because of dhclient - if you don't fiddle with the initrd. Are there any arguments *against* requiring the presence of the "root-path" field? This seems not to be set by most dhcp servers by default, so one could easily distinguish between interesting and uninteresting servers... Next step could be to tell the dhclient to send an additional information (as PXE boot sends "PXEClient" and Etherboot sends "Etherboot-5.x") - or does dhclient do this from default? However, having this documented could ease conditional dhcp configuration for those people that want short-time-leases for booting and long-time-adresses from another range for ltsp usage.
