I would like to run an LTSP server over the Amazon compute cloud. I
am fairly new to
this technology, but what I was wondering is how I would configure the
thin client
machines to boot directly from the Internet, where the LTSP server
would reside. I would have an IP address of
the LTSP server. However, I'm not sure how I would configure the
client machines to connect to the
LTSP server running over the Internet, and not over a local area
network. Normally, the clent obtains an IP address
from a DHCP server (standalone or the one bundled with LTSP). As I
understand, this is accomplished
by configuring the BIOS of the client machine to boot from the local
area network. In this case, however,
the thin client must actually go out over the Internet to establish a
connection and begin downloading the client
software. If anyone can give me any guidance or suggestions as to how
this might be accomplished or if this is even feasible.
Thanks you your help.
