Hi,

The DHCP RFC says:

"A client with multiple network interfaces must use DHCP through each 
interface independently to obtain configuration information parameters for 
these seperate interfaces."

Does the above statement mean that DISCOVER message for getting IP
address for a particular interface should be sent only on that interface or
does it mean that the DISCOVER message has to be sent on each of 
the interfaces available on the node ?

Also I would like links which would give how to configure DHCP in a VLAN
environment.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Bhaskar S.
