<p class="MsoNormal">Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Server 4.3.1<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The question is: If I copy the dhcpd.conf file from the old server to the new one, and also copy the /var/state/dhcp/dhcpd.leases, turn off dhcpd services on the old server and start it on the new one, will that work without causing any
kind of IP conflict with all the hosts out there that already have an IP? Or what else should be considered to get rid of the old server and deploy the new one?<o:p></o:p></p>
