Exporting DHCP to backup server
Hi

just looking for some advise on the best way to set-up a passive dhcp server in solaris.
Was thinking of exporting the dhcp data/macros etc to a separate server to use as a backup that will be activated when the main dhcp server goes down

Any hints/tips etc greatly appreciated

You will need to test the backup and restore process to ensure the files backup okay while the DHCP server is running.
