There's an other option: You can have two or more LTSP servers and in front of them (between the LTSP servers and the clients) you add one or two load-balancers (you can have linux act as a load-balancer or buy commercial products if you have mony to waste/spend). This configuration needs to be tested, because I don't know if pxelinux and tftp will work in a such environment.
If you only need high availability, check linux-ha (linux-ha.org) Khalil FOUNDY --- Anders Bruun Olsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a écrit : > On Wed, Jan 21, 2004 at 03:16:48PM -0800, Adrian Kuepker wrote: > > Is there any known syntax in dhcpd.conf to tell new connections to > boot > > from one of multiple LTSP servers in a manner that does not require > > > hard-coding?
