Don't thank me just yet. I should've checked my notes. On 6/25/05, Steve Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > How about distributing static routes through DHCP? It's listed in > > dhcp-options(5) as "option static-routes". > > OMG! What a simple solution! It's so simple it never occured to me.
According to MS' Knowledgebase [1], Win2K is the first OS to support option 33. Also, the static-routes option is classful (and thus rather old fashioned). Classful means that the choice of the destination implies the netmask. RFC3442 [2] has more info on an option implementing classless routing (option 121), but I do not believe it is a standard just yet. Your mileage may vary as you may end up with a /32 route. Perhaps pushing group policies and/or login scripts may prove a better option in such a case. Rogier References: 1.
