Hi,

Each branch only has one R2 server and approx 15-30 Xp/Vista
Clients.(class c) So scope at branch could provide 30
ips(x.x.x.50-x.x.x.80), and one at corp could provide another 30 in
upper range (x.x.x.100-x.x.x.130)

This approach makes sense then there is no risk of duplicate ip's
being handed out.

MS Clustering at branch is to expensive and at corporate as well.

Yes, I agree it is pricey, almost doubling up on hardware.


Q: At corp the primary dhcp could have the branches "backup scopes"
enabled since there is no real risk right, correct? (local branch
dhcp will provide primary)

Yes. If you want to go further with this, you could implment a copy of all
scopes on all branch DHCP servers. This way you have total meshed redundacy.

Great point, I should make another DHCP server at corp to backup the
corporate one. Not clustering just a hot standby

Seems like a fairly decent dhcp plan for 200?
Backup for branches and backup for corp, all hot standby's!

Yes it does. I think you have a good plan.
