What your talking about is basically DHCP relaying, if I read it right. Relaying can be done several ways, including the standard ISC dhrelay deamon, the native capabilities of many switches, or dhcpfwd (http://www-user.tu- chemnitz.de/~ensc/dhcpfwd/). Relaying basically consists of listening for DHCP requests, 'forwarding' them to something, either another network, or a specific host, and then responding on behalf of the server to the client.. Is that what you mean? -- Thomas Charron -={ Is beadarrach an ni an onair }=- ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
