Hello Torsten,

Are all sunrays placed under a common domain?
All Sun Ray get their domain and DNS servers from the DHCP server.
The Sun Ray will then query the DNS server for the following names:
sunray-servers.my.domain.com
sunray-servers.domain.com
sunray-config-servers.my.domain.com
sunray-config-servers.domain.com
etc.

So if you register the sunray-servers in the top domain it should work out of the box.

Hi,

we are currently in the process of redesigning our SunRay infrastructure and need to switch from a dedicated interconnect setup to a "remote shared subnet" setup for technical and administrative reasons. In the new setup we will neither have control over the DHCP parameters provided to the DTUs nor the DNS name space so we cannot easily configure the list of SunRay and firmware servers for the DTUs.

Deploying the "GUI firmware" and configuring each DTU manually works fine but isn't really an option for 250+ terminals. Apart from that it really seems attractive to not have a settings menu where a user might (accidentally or intentionally) misconfigure the device.

It would be really nice if there were some kind of mechanism that allows us to generate a custom firmware that either

- contains a fixed list of (names or addresses) of SunRay and/or firmware
  servers to contact, or

- issues DNS queries for the full qualified names sunray-servers.my.domain
  and/or sunray-config-server.my.domain.

Equipped with such a firmware, the DTUs spread across the campus would be really "zero-admin" devices for us.

So the question is: does anyone know if it is possible to get/buy such a toolset that allows to create a custom firmware? Of course other hints to achieve the same result are welcome as well... :-)

cheers,
        Torsten
