[OpenIndiana-discuss] Synchronizing Sun DHCP servers

[Jim Klimov]

Hello all,

   I wondered if the Sun DHCP server, also provided in OI, supports
synchronization of instances - i.e. two boxes providing addresses
for the same range, "should" support interchange of leased address
lists, defined macros (dhcptab) and so on.

   Perhaps a shared LDAP backend can be implemented?

   From what I currently see, there is multi-instance support, but
it seems based on shared FS (i.e. NFS) to store the DHCP tables...
are there any other options currently available, or reasonably easy
to implement?

   Secondly, does Sun DHCP support active probing (arp/ping) whether
the IP address it is going to lease is actually available and not
used by some squatter (or a client of another DHCP server), and
logging the result?

Thanks,
