We have many wholesale accounts for which have different IP pools. I need to find a way to tell the dhcp server to pick the IP from a different pool (Is this possible?) OR run many dhcp daemons... which seems ugly and inconvenient. > > > - what will happen if one LNS goes out-of-service, the others take > over > the users, but pools don't have IP-addrs anymore, as the ones taken by > the one LNS are still "in use" (do see any easy solution for this) > I realize this....I believe this is where the dhcp lease time comes into play...but lowering it to much would mean that the dhcp servers would get hammered. Either way I would rather have this problem than having to manage IP pools in many LNSes. What happens sometimes is that if one LNS goes down, the l2tp tunnels fail-over to the other LNSes like they should be but will often deplete all IPs available from them. -G _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
