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.
Thanks for any suggestion and best regards . Götz

'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.
