Hi,
it's time to start our redundant dhcp server setup and I found some suggestions and tutorials.
But all setups I found use either static or nonstatic ip adress management.
For the static setup I'd setup two servers and copy the configfile from the 'master' to the secondary server and do a dhcpd restart.
For the nonstatic I have to setup pool and failover peer configurations to have the lease information synced.
My question:
Can I mix both types of configuration? May be somewone has an example config for me? We use centos 6.2 and it would be dhcp 4.1.1.
'man dhcpd.conf' should explain the concept - look for the 'Configuring Failover' section and specifically the 'include "/etc/dhcpd.master";' directive. Basically you put the common stuff in an included file - which will include both the dynamic ranges and the hardware static assignments and the including file just has the (unique) failover/peer info.
