Assign multiple IPs to a single interface using DHCP

Submitted by jpr on Fri, 03/26/2004 - 23:05. |

Is it possible to assign mutliple IP addresses to a single interface using DHCP? The man page for dhcpd.conf suggests one can, but I haven't figured out how to do this. This is desirable so that we can multi-home our hosts to the internal/external IPs on the shared segment and not need to cross a router boundry for things like NFS file shares.

this is what suggests one could do this. In the dhcpd.conf man page reference section for the "host" declerations:

The host statement

host hostname {
[[ parameters ]
[[ declarations ]
}
...
If it is desirable to be able to boot a DHCP or BOOTP
client on more than one subnet with fixed addresses, more
than one address may be specified in the fixed-address
parameter, or more than one host statement may be speci-
fied.
