Multiple DHCP servers

[jtdrummerboy]

I have 2 DHCP servers setup in my domain using the 80/20 rule that Microsoft
recommends. I have problems with the 2nd DHCP server however, because it
continues to run out of available address leases as it would appear clients
default to pulling their addresses from the DHCP server with fewer addresses.
Is there a way to default clients to pull their address from a specific DHCP
server first and when unavailable, from the second DHCP server?

Hi JT

Welcome to the Microsoft Macintosh Office newsgroup.

Personally, I would like my computers, refrigerator and heating system to
each have their own static IP.

I'm sure there's an appropriate newsgroup for your question, but this isn't
it. However, if you post a reply detailing the steps you took to land here
we here in Macintosh land can let Microsoft know about this new bug (how you
got to the Macintosh newsgroup) you've uncovered.

Sorry to not be able to offer assistance with your question, but please keep
this newsgroup in mind when you have Mac Office questions.

Thanks.
