The first step would be to figure out what, if anything, is in the DHCPREQUEST packet that would indicate the sender is a "PXE client". Then, configure one server to not respond to those requests and one to only respond to those requests. I don't think there is, strictly speaking, a difference. But, a DHCP client on a booted system will just ignore all the netboot information in the response. So, generally you just run one DHCP server that gives everyone the netboot information and there's little downside. You also might be able to come up with a heuristic for your network. Here PXE requests don't request a hostname, but "normal" requests do. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
