You may need to force some clients to drop their lease so they will start again by broadcasting Discover packets.

Not deeply.? I checked back after a few hours, and packets were coming in on both interfaces.? I didn't take note of whether they were broadcast, or not.? Later I will go ahead and shut down one of the servers for a few hours to make sure everything stays up, and then switch active servers for a few hours just to be certain.? At this point I am pretty confident everything is working, but it never hurts to be sure. ------------------------------ Subject: Digest Footer _______________________________________________ ISC funds the development of this software with paid support subscriptions.
