Hi all,
I have a LAN called sub1.sub1 has a dhcp server
I want to use a pc with 2 network cards as a router between sub1(eth0) and another subnet called sub2(eth1) for boot process.For the network booting process i need to run a dhcp server on this pc but i want it to listen or respond only to the dhcp request from sub 2. I am confused how to configure my new dhcpd .What shoul i add to my new config file to support only
sub2 dhcp request?

Regards

You should specify the NIC you want to listen for DHCP requests, in dhcp.conf .
dhcpd will answer to the request coming from the specified NIC

Your 'router' PC should relay DHCP requests from sub2 to your dhcp server on sub1.
You should add a subnet and range for sub2 to the dhcpd config.
