Re: Multiple IP Schemes for Different Buildings



Tom,
Not sure if I understand the question correctly.
A DHCP server can serve more than one scope. On the "other" subnet from the
server you need to add an ip-helper address or some other way of forwarding
the DHCP request from the client. This is normal practice when splitting a
LAN into VLANS.
You can also have more than one DHCP server serving a subnet, but they can't
have the same range of addresses to give out. You need to use exclusions to
keep different ranges on different servers. There is no way in MS to share
the DHCP database of leases.
Hope that helps,

Hello,
I currently have 2 office buildings each with their own dc and dhcp
servers.
However, we are going to connect the 2 buildings for internet purposes,
but
need to maintain the separate IP scopes. How can I have both dhcp servers
running and have them only give a certain range of IPs for each building.
Ex. Building one uses 192.168.1.x
Building two uses 192.168.2.x
Thanks for the help.
Tom
