A hopefully easy to answer question, about multiple dhcp servers in 1 network. I'm looking into a thin client server (TCS) setup. As the TCS boots the clients using dhcp, I need to introduce a dhcpserver in an existing network. This shouldn't be a problem a guess, if the correct rules are followed....
If this existing network already has a DHCP server, you would simply amend that config.
I don't know if I can change the config, and actually I don't want to change it. Anyway it is running that other OS....

Let's see if I understand what you want. You don't want to (or can't) change the config on the dhcp server servering the (main) network, but you want to set up some thin clients and they need to be served in a special way by a dhcp server. I *think*, you can do that. I haven't tried it. In my dhcp server, I set each thin client up in a separate host section. I serve my thin clients by mac address and use static ip addresses for them (and sometimes some host specific options). I also serve the 'regular' network clients with this dhcp server in a subnet section. If I pulled that subnet section out, I *think* it would no longer serve the regular network but would serve the individual hosts that were defined. Maybe someone with more dhcp knowledge could answer that for sure. Doug
