>
> Server reservations allow users to specify an IP address to be used.
> Currently, the web frontend only checks to see if an existing reservation or
> management node has the specified IP address assigned. If not, it will allow
> the reservation to move forward. The backend currently checks for any
> computer having the IP address assigned in the database, and fails the
> reservation if one is found. If not found, it tries to ping the IP and fails
> the reservation if the ping is responded to.
> This improvement will have the frontend check to see if there is a computer
> already assigned the IP in the database that the selected image maps to, and
> if so, attempts to assign that computer for the new reservation. The backend
> will then need to check if the assigned computer currently has the specified
> IP address, and if so, skip the ping check.
