Windows server 2008 DHCP question

Post by ElDiablo »

Hi,

I have 2 networks, each network is connected to each other with a wireless link.

I have an ADSL router at each network, but since they're connected to each other, I can only set the DHCP to give out a single Gateway address, but what I want to do is configure the DHCP settings so that certain MAC addresses gets a gateway for site 1 and other gets the gateway IP for site 2.



SITE 1 ------------------ WIRELESS LINK --------------------- SITE 2
ADSL ADSL
GATEWAY 192.168.1.1 GATEWAY 192.168.1.2

Can this be done without giving each site it's own subnet?

I'm unfamiliar with DHCP in a Windows Server environment, but I am aware of the ISC DHCP Server that most Linux distributions include having this functionality -- so if you don't come right, you could set up dhcpd on a *nix box and configure it to do the job. (At least, the man page hints that this is possible, though I've actually never attempted to set up anything like that.)

I'm curious though: why doesn't each network have its own subnet?
Kia kaha, Kia māia, Kia manawanui.
