The way it's typically done is to have your lease pool split into two between the 2 servers so that any given client can still get a new lease. Set your timeouts to a high enough value so that you can afford to lose your DHCP server for a while. We're running our office production DHCP server on a single system (happens to be VMS but that's not relevant) and we haven't had a serious incident yet. We support several thousand desktops and printers scattered throughout the world and it's been working fine. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
