Hello,

I have two different gateway. One of the gateway has been defined at dhcpd3.conf file.
Now if I change the gateway at dhcpd3.conf and restart the isc server; the client still
hold the old gateway. How can I force the isc server to immediately inform the client
about this change ?

In the DHCP protocol there is no facility for the server to "push" values to the clients: Clients will only get the changes next time they renew the lease, as this is the only time they talk to the server. So this basically depends on your lease periods on the server...

Hope this helps
