creating a secondary bootptab server

[mike worrell]

I need to create a secondary bootptab server to serve as a backup if the primary goes down.

What files do I need to copy over and/or edit to get this to work?

Thanx,
Mike

Mike,

you'll only need to copy /etc/bootptab to make it work.

I'm doing this for a couple of years on three bootp servers and I'm not using this as a backup only.
All three bootp servers are active all the time and share the load.

Regards
Rainer

thanks Rainer, that sounds simple enough.
I'm going to give it a try today.
