"Intelligent" DHCP Server

[Protheus]

Hi all,

I need help with the following and not sure on how to do it or if it can be done.

we have a corporate network. That has a DHCP server running and giving out IP Addresses.

I want to create a seperate domain with a DHCP server that will only give address to e.g. 10 workstations and the addresses are in a different range. But the second domain is connected to the corporate domain.

So that when a corporate machine connects to the network it gets the corporate IP address. The moment I switch on the second domain and use a workstation that is added to that domain it will only give out address to that machine.

I hope it is all clear and need some advise on how to do this ?

let me say it like this:

Can you configure a DHCP server so that only specific machine will get an IP address and the rest not ?

Yes, you can use class id. These links are for 2000, but should work fine for 2003.
