DNS/DHCP on Netware for Mutliple Sites

[IdahoTech]

Hello,

Here is my question and I hope this is correct in the way I ask.

I have 4 schools and a Netwre 6.0 server in each school. I want to make another Netware Server that would strictly do DNS/DHCP and FTP. I want this server to be the main DNS/DHCP server in the district. Now comes the hard part. I want each school to have their own DHCP range. Can this be done?

I want the main server to be the boss of them I guess, but with each of the schools I want them to get their IP's from their servers and have them report back to the main server that I want to build.

Also I want to have the DNS throughout the district for redundancy. So if one goes out the others will kick in. Am I going over my head? We have one DHCP server right now and it is the High School Server. If our air lan goes down, some of our machines loose thier IP and do not keep it thus causing a big headache.

This is why I would like each school with their own range but still have a main server to manage it all.

Any help on this would be greatful, or if someone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. School will let out in a few weeks and I want to get a jump start on it as soon as possible.

Thank you for any help anyone can give.

no probs
you need a helper file on your router though for the dhcp
just set the dhcp's up as normal for each subnet and then put the helper on the router at the romote site to point to the server running dhcpsrvr

dhcp is not held on the server - it is replicated through the nds - same as the dns

Hello Terry,

Is there a document somewhere that can help as well. I am the kind of tech that soft of needs to see it done or have detailed instructions to do it. Once I do however and I get the understanding it is a piece of cake then.

Thanks for the info.

Cool I will do that. Again I appreciate the info and am glad to know that it can be done. Summer vacation is almost here at the schools and I was getting worried.

Thanks again....
