Hi,
Is it possible to run multiple DHCP servers on same host? 
Iam trying to have a single machine ( with 3 network cards) and I want
to run 3 ISC DHCPV4 servers. These DHCP servers would be having
different conf files and lease files. 
 
I started the servers with the following commands
 
./dhcpd -cf dhcpd.conf -lf dhcpd.leases eth0
./dhcpd -cf dhcpd1.conf -lf dhcpd1.leases eth1
./dhcpd -cf dhcpd2.conf -lf dhcpd2.leases eth2
 
When I tried this with DHCP server 3.07, I got an error saying " An
instance is already running " for the second command. First server was
running successfully.
 
Thanks in advance for your response.
 
Regards,
Vidhya
