Can't see the wiki at the moment as it's down for maintenance but on a slightly different but related note, would it be feasible to use DHCP relay functionality in dnsmasq on a VR and still get the IP address assigned by an external DHCP server registered into the ACS MS? Not quite sure if under normal circumstances ACS picks up the IP from dnsmasq or if ACS manages the pool and sends dnsmasq static leases. If it's picking up what dnsmasq decides to lease out, what is this mechanism and does/would it also work for DHCP relay?
This doesn’t solve the issue of a DHCP server on the same network however and would still require a VR on the network with upstream connectivity to the DHCP server. I'm definitely definitely up for the concept of simple networks with no VR if we can provision some of the essentials without one. Big +1 -----Original Message----- From: Nux!
