support of failover protocol?

[scott_stone at trendmicro.com]

The way RedHat/CentOS/Fedora builds their DHCP RPMs, this gets defined as 1 in failover.h - so I'd say that yes, you probably do need to define this with the --enable-failover option to the 'configure' script.

Subject: support of failover protocol?

Hi,

when I look into the source of dhcpd I find in the file includes/site.h the following statement:


/* Define this if you want DHCP failover protocol support in the DHCP
   server. */

/* #define FAILOVER_PROTOCOL */


From the description I would think it is pretty straight forward what the meaning of this is, but if I leave it as it is (NOT defining it), then I can still use the failover protocoll.

So I'm not sure that I understand the meaning of this. If I have failover protocoll supported without this statement, what exactly will change if I define "FAILOVER-PROTOCOL"?

Tom.
