dhcpserv with Bonding interface

[Ian Anderson]

We are running CentOS 4.4 with DHCP 3.0.4 and are using bonded
interfaces in a master/slave setup. (Used strictly for redundancy) It
runs great.

We have CentOS 4.4 with DHCP running on a bonded interface and the

It is working fine and is very stable.
