Address from wrong pool

I see. Then this won't work.

Yes, that's how we used to configure it, but it has always been a bit  
complicated to generate from our database (we have more than one  
subnet and thus had to create a "fixed" class for each subnet), so  
we've been hoping to keep it more simple. We don't have a lot of fixed  
address hosts, so at the moment, we are testing to "include" the  
entire pools instead of just the deny statements, like this:

pool {
failover peer „DHCP-IEU“;
deny dynamic bootp clients;
allow known-clients;
deny members of "IEU_0057_L1";
deny members of "IEU_0501_L1";
range 130.60.79.200 130.60.79.220;
}

and then include it in the respecticve subnet. This seems to work and  
is a bit less complicated than using  the fixed address classes.

Thanks, that's cool, I didn't know about that. We are currently  
creating a new database, so this will come in very handy and make  
things much easier.



Thanks to everbody else who replied, too. I really appreciate this  
list - people here are so helpful. Thanks a lot!
