[K12OSN] Tossing around an idea...need some input

[Rob Owens]

Here's a question:  Is it possible to have 2 instances
of dhcp running on the same port, on the same machine,
with non-overlapping ranges, but with 2 different
dhcpd.conf files?

I imagine you'd need to rename one of the instances,
so you could have dhcp and dhcp2, using dhcpd.conf and
dhcpd2.conf, respectively.  The two .conf files would
be the same, except that they'd have 2 different
dynamic IP ranges and 2 different root paths (each
pointing to a different LTSP server).

Any thoughts?
