As far as I know round-robin is a DNS concept where a host can have multiple addresses so that the lookups results in different addresses. This can distribute load over several servers if they use DNS lookups. I don't think you can do something like that with DHCP, at least not with ISC DHCP. > Some setup wherein terminals get their boot information from the DHCP > server, and then boot from one of two servers to not only decrease the > load, but also provide a form of redundancy when one of the two goes down. If you have two completely seperate LTSP servers your users are going to have two different desktop setups. A better setup would probably be a cluster solution so that if one server goes down the only thing your users will feel should be a decrees in speed. -- Anders -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS/O d--@ s:+ a-- C++ UL+++$ P++ L+++ E- W+ N(+) o K? w O-- M- V PS+ PE@ Y+ PGP+ t 5 X R+ tv+ b++ DI+++ D+ G e- h !r y? ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ PGPKey: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x8BFECB41 ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
