DHCP redundant

Hi folks,

I'm running IAS+Radius and about 200 DHCP Scopes along that. I'm in the
process of making things redundant. IAS and the Radius are.

I'm not sure what stepst to take in the DHCP. Today it's just normal scopes.
I was reading about superscopes.

So my question's are:

How can I make Microsoft DHCP redundant? (I don't want to use x.1-x.50 on
one server and x.51-x.100 on servera and serverb)

Do you use normal scope or superscope?

Thanks in advanced,
- Bjarni

No, no, no. Superscopes are for creating Multi-Nets (old technology) and
there is no Multi-Net here. The purpose for a Multi-Net has pretty much been
eliminated by the invention of VLANs.

Then you are screwed, becuase the very thing you *have* to do is what you
say you don't want to do.

You don't actually change the scopes,..you still use the full range in both
DHCP Servers,...you just simply use Exclusions to adjust what addresses each
machine can give out. Other than the Exclusions,..the Scopes are identical.

*Normal* Scopes.
