Here is an idea, It might cost you some vlanning efforts on both the dhcp client and the dhcp server: vconfig add eth2 10 vconfig add eth2 11 vconfig add eth2 12 vconfig add eth2 13 dhcpcd eth2.10 dhcpcd eth2.11 dhcpcd eth2.12 dhcpcd eth2.13 You can keep the NIC's :-) Ramin On Fri, Sep 05, 2003 at 10:16:41AM -0700, Daniel Chemko wrote: > Damn, guys, if you could set me up with a fantastic script that can do > multiple DHCP subscriptions on a single NIC, I could throw away my all > 4-port NIC's.
