A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the Dynamic Host Configuration
Working Group of the IETF.
Title : An Inter-server Protocol for DHCP
Author(s) : R. Droms
Filename : draft-ietf-dhc-interserver-00.txt
Pages : 8
Date : 11/22/1996
The DHCP protocol is designed to allow for multiple DHCP servers, so that
reliability of DHCP service can be improved through the use of redundant
servers. To provide redundant service, all of the DHCP servers must be
configured with the same information about assigned IP addresses and
parameters; i.e., all of the servers must be configured with the same
bindings. Because DHCP servers may dynamically assign new addresses or
configuration parameters, or extend the lease on an existing address
assignment, the bindings on some servers may become out of date. The DHCP
inter-server protocol provides an automatic mechanism for synchronization
of the bindings stored on a set of cooperating DHCP servers.

Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dhc-interserver-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
