[kevin]

How can I deploy a second RIS server in a second site in
one domain using DHCP Relay?

Thanks in any for any feedback

I’m not sure I’m understanding your question...

Plus,

This has already been asked and answered. It seems to be a bit contagious
this week that people are posting the same question two and three times. I
am wondering if someone is trying to infect people through this NG as
eventually the people doing the multiple posting include an attachment.

Hi Laura,

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.
Thanks,

Hi Cary,

My two postings were a mistake and I haven't included an
attachment in either one. This is not an attempt to
infect the NG -- I am just looking for help with the
question at hand. I will be grateful for any further help
I can get. I have replied with a more detailed
explanation of my situation.

Thank you,

Kevin

Okay, Kevin.

No problem. It just seems that more and more people are making multiple
postings for the same question and eventually attach a file for us to
inspect. This is sometimes a problem as the file is infected. There are a
still a lot of people out there that either do not have A/V software
installed or do have A/V software installed ( but it is out of date! ).

I will take a look at the posting with more details.

Hello, Cary

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

Kevin,

I think that Ace is helping you with this in another post.
