RE: Kickstart http parameters

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have modified a Web server written in Perl (from the book "Network
Programming with Perl") that takes such a ks.cfg request and fills in
a ks.cfg template from a configuration file.

The Web server of course sees the IP address of the client and can use
this information to pick the template and/or config file for this client.

It is quite performant and robust (installed ~100 machines in parallel
with it).

Let me know if you are interested.
