Hello Laurent, I wouldn't advise installing dhcp3 relay with dhcp3 server. If you are concerned about a dhcp server being unavailable, install a backup server. The clients would get addresses from either. (Make sure they are not giving out conflicting addresses.) -----Original Message----- From: linux-admin-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-admin-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Laurent CARON Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2007 10:47 AM To: linux-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Having both dhcp3 server and dhcp3 relay on the same host Hi, I'm considering installing dhcp3 relay on my linux boxes. I already have dhcp3 server running. Wouldn't those packages conflict ? I mean: Is it a correct behavior to run dhcp3 relay as a fallback if the dhcp3 server is unavailable (misconfigured, crashed...)?
