Hi,

I'm thinking of using LVS to load balance DHCP requests between two new
DHCP servers. Of course DHCP uses UDP so I wonder if LVS can load
balance UDP?

Or should I think of using something else?

TIA

Hi,

Do you have a mechanism so that both servers know about leases created by the
other server (so they both know which IPs are still available to lease out)?
If so, LVS should work fine AFAIK.
