<p class="MsoNormal">I have a primary and secondary dhcpd server that I have set up as central dhcp servers for a bunch of relays. The servers come up, and they communicate properly. The trouble is they keep reporting:<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Question number one:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Is this “error” due to dhcpd failing to update the dns server, or some sort of socket binding issue? (overuse of the word “bind” perhaps?)<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am currently consolidating a number of remotely located dhcp servers that are very old (Solaris 10 running bind 3.0.4 ). At present the remote servers are having dhcp queries relayed to them by the various equipment we support. Once
this is done, we will simply change the relay ip to the new servers. <u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The procedure I am using: replicate all dhcpd.leases, filtering out deprecated and dhcp server specific content, copying new dhcpd.leases to both dhcp development servers, and starting dhcpd.<u></u><u></u></p>
