Subject: two DHCP servers working?
Mime-Version: 1.0

Hello everyone,

In the past, we were running the CMU bootp server on two Sun SPARC 
machines.  One is the "main" server and one is the "backup" server.

This worked fairly well.  Now I have setup the CMU DHCP server on the 
main server, and it's working as well.  I was going to do the same 
for our backup server, but then I had some questions:

Since the DHCP server keeps track of what IP's it has given out, 
how will TWO SERVERS be able to know what each other has done?

CMU's DHCP has SNMP built in.  Is that how they talk?

Granted, we are only using what we already had in our bootptab file, 
but will shortly be creating some dynamic areas.

Thanks for any information you can give me,
Mike
