Frank,
VLANs can be considered "virtual network cards" with separate IP subnets. A client would only be on one or the other VLAN, never on both at the same time. dhcpd should not have any issues with this nor would you need to reconfigure you clients. I run DL with VLANs myself.

Or I might have completely misunderstood your email....


Regards,
John Jore

Hi all,

I wonder if it is possible to have a trunked port, let's say vlan10 and vlan20
on the same NIC, and have dhcpd distribute different address pools to clients
in the vlans? The vlan-tag is certainly stripped off the packet before it is
passed to dhcpd, so dhcpd has no way of knowing which vlan the request came
from.

I know there is some possibility to configure the clients to include some
label in the request, and differenciate them using that on the server, but
that would mean reconfigureing all the clients....


Thanks for any ideas,

Frank
