Need help with RIS

Hello,

Is it possible to have two RIS servers on a domain, if so
how can you implement this. Also is there a way to setup
RIS on a DHCP Relay server?

Thanks in advance for any feedback

Kevin,
More than one RIS Server is fine. if in same site/subnet, you can pre-create
a computer account and pre-define RIS Server.

Hello, Chris

Thanks for your reply -- here is a better explanation of
my situation. Thanks for any feedback.

We have two locations which form one domain -- at the
main site we have a DHCP server and a RIS server. Then at
another site we have a DHCP relay server which get IP
address from the main site and distributes the IP
addresses to computers at that site. We do this because
there are two separate set of IP addresses. Both sites
are connected by a T1 connection & router. To transfer
the packages via the TI connection would cause alot of
network traffic and take a long time to install.


Therefore, we wanted to setup a 2nd RIS server at the 2nd
site. But have been unsuccessful at that site with RIS --
the computers cannot access the DHCP Relay server and
cannot get an IP address in order to install the
Operating system using F12. With our current network is
it possible to have a second RIS server at the second
site which uses DHCP Relay? If so how can we do it.
