Hi,

sorry for the late answer.

Currently, yes. You can. 

Formerly the was sole pool for whole app with possibility to allow/disallow 
duplicates(config option is named "ALLOW_DUPLICATES"; one mac being used 
multiple times or not). So there was a way, how to reach situation, where same 
MACs are being used among multiple data centers at the same time. This 
implementation of mac pool remained the same, only there are potentially many 
of them, one per scope -- data center. So if you configure your data centers / 
global pool such that there is an overlap in mac intervals, one mac can be 
allocated multiple times even if you've specified in configuration that you 
disallow duplicates.

But I've already wrote some code detecting overlaps and fixing them in context 
of one mac pool. It can be easily refactored and used for whole 
ScopedMacPoolManager, so that if configured so, trying to add new 
scope/datacenter with specified mac pool ranges will fail if those mac ranges 
overlaps with any other existing pool definition. Would that be benefitial to 
you? And if answer is yes, can you describe a little bit your 
expectations/request? Whether you want to have a possibility to change this 
behavior in app configuration, whether is suficient to use for this 
configuration forementioned ALLOW_DUPLICATES or you'd like another one, ...


M.

I got a question regarding general
mac handling:

can you use the same macs on different
datacenters?
