No, the DHCP server is a rather lightweight daemon and will not add much load to your current system. And yes, one could reboot the machine acting as your DHCP server without screwing up the clients which have already gotten a IP/lease. Note that rebooting a Unix system is normally not needed for anything short of installing a new kernel... -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I do grok that rebooting is only really needed for new kernel installs.

In theory, if we did away with redundancy, and got a honkin' HUGE server to handle the load, we could run our entire University on one FreeBSD box (didn't they used to call that a Mainframe?). -- Jay Chandler Network Administrator, Chapman University 714.628.7249 / [EMAIL PROTECTED] Today's Excuse: PEBKAC (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
