Depending on which programs you use for booting, having more than one offer arriving might be a problem. EtherBoot and LTSP will handle that fine if only one of those two has a filename or root-path set, but some vendor PXE implementations will just lose. Also of course all DHCP servers in question should be "not authoritative", but that you surely found out already ;-) Regards Anselm ________________________________________________________________________ Yes, I had tentatively reached the conclusion that "being authoritative" could cause trouble, but thanks for confirming that.
