Re: [CentOS] high performance open source DHCP solution?
Anyone have any suggestions? You thought about using its built in load balancing to scale out the capacity? Don't know what hardware you are using but it might be worth looking at the lease db and log file setups you are using if you can't add iron to the equation. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

That's the first I've heard of scaling/performance problems - writing the syslog entries are about the most work it does. What kind of hardware and how much RAM does the server have? My first thought would be to use a 2nd system which you probably want for failover in any case. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Don't know what hardware you are using but it might be worth looking at the lease db and log file setups you are using if you can't add iron to the equation. I'm looking over the documentation, and I see the -Y/-y options in dhcpd. Maybe there is something worth considering rather than changing DHCP solutions. (Other suggestions for DHCP replacement / scaling are always welcome) -- Also on LinkedIn?
