that's interesting... i can't say that i've ever heard that before... maybe it
has been corporate policy on all the networks i've dealt with over the years?
it is something that i may do more research on because i don't want to pass bad
information as i have apparently just done... do you have any pointers to
documentation on this aspect of DHCP servers?
so trying to implement server priority by speed-of-reply is doomed to
failure.
yup! seems to be that way :)
thanks for the clarification!
