Does anyone have any experience running multiple dhcp servers out of one box? Allow me to clarify... I have a box with three network cards: eth0 is connected to the DSL modem, eth1 to a 192.168.0.0/24 network (MASQed), and eth2 will be connected to a 192.168.1.0/24 network (which I also intend to MASQ). There are various cabling considerations that have made this arrangement seem sensible. I'm running dhcpd on eth1, because there are as many laptops in the house as desktops. The potentially tricky part is that I installed eth2 so that I can plug my laptop into it when I'm in the same room as the router. This makes it appealing to run dhcpd on eth2 as well, so that I don't have to do any funny voodoo every time I plug the laptop into a different network.
That said, there may be some voodoo to do concerning the configuration of dhcp. There's no issue of overlapping blocks of addresses since the networks are different. The question is, do I need multiple copies of dhcpd.conf and dhcpd.leases, or can two daemons share the same files? I imagine it's possible that both subnets could be defined in the same dhcpd.conf, since each instance of dhcpd should know which network it's on. But then again, it may not work that way. Any other gotchas that I should be aware of? In case it matters, the machine is running Gentoo Linux.
