The ISC dhcpd 2.0 is supposed to support two cards. I got an dhcpd from a
Sunsite mirror (but am unsure if it is the isc dhcp), and it definitely works.
You must add routes for 255.255.255.255 to both interfaces, otherwise Windows
clients will complain.

1. DHCP Server with Two Ethernet Cards

hi!

Is there any way to offer DHCP services from a redhat 4.2 machine that
has two Ethernet cards?  I wanted to offer clients on eth1 DHCP leases
for surfing, etc...

I am currently looking at ISC's DHCP server  Beta 5 Patch level 16

Just curious
