Was just wondering if anyone had thought about how many clients 
banging away at a dhcp server will be acceptable.  ie.. the server 
will respond in a reasonable amount of time with out getting over 
worked.

We have a network of 10,000+ nodes, and are wondering how many 
servers would be logical.

Thanks for your help in advanced,
