dhcpd.conf shared-network help

[beckols]

Ok, I'm at the point where I almost have the whole setup figured out, but I am still having a problem.

Background:
2 Servers (each with dsl line, and connected to network)
The two servers have ip addresses of 10.1.1.1 and 10.1.1.2
This network consists of about 80-90 computers

In my dhcpd.conf I have a shared-network statement so that each lease that is given out will have a random gateway of either 10.1.1.1 or 10.1.1.2

Here is my dhcpd.conf

Code:

ddns-update-style none;



option domain-name-servers 4.2.2.2, 4.2.2.3;



default-lease-time 172800;

max-lease-time 1209600;



authoritative;



shared-network net12 {

subnet 10.1.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

range 10.1.1.5 10.1.1.250;

option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

option broadcast-address 10.1.1.255;

option routers 10.1.1.1;

option domain-name-servers 4.2.2.2, 4.2.2.3;

}

subnet 10.1.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

range 10.1.2.5 10.1.2.250;

option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

option broadcast-address 10.1.2.255;

option routers 10.1.1.2;

option domain-name-servers 4.2.2.2, 4.2.2.3;

}

}

According to the man page of dhcpd.conf: "If any subnet in a shared
network has addresses available for dynamic allocation, those addresses are collected into a common pool for that shared network and assigned to clients as needed. There is no way to distinguish on which subnet of a shared network a client should boot."

My problem is that all of the leases in /var/lib/dhcp3/dhcpd.leases have ip addresses of 10.1.1.2**
This doesn't seem to be very random to me

Could anyone help me figure this out, it is pretty urgent.

Thank you!

Shared does not mean random!

According to the man page of dhcpd.conf: "If any subnet in a shared
network has addresses available for dynamic allocation, those addresses are collected into a common pool for that shared network and assigned to clients as needed. There is no way to distinguish on which subnet of a shared network a client should boot."

Above is your answer. The pool starts with 10.1.1.* and once they are used up the pool will start giving out 10.1.2.* addresses.
