Hi, Debian LAN is indeed interesting, simpler approach tha Edu. But I see some blocking missing features.
1) Subnet switch to an arbitrary 10.x.x.x/24 or even better 10.x.x.x/23 and also 192.169.x.x networks 2) The mainserver shouldn't act as gateway. Most plain, small organization networks have a dedicated gateway (which often is an ADSL router/gateway) and the server should live with this. Cheers Giorgio Givent that you'll provide such a fix, I'll probably do a test. On Sun, Apr 08, 2012 at 10:31:21AM +0200, Andreas B.
