Is there a way that I can configure my DHCP to lease out two different
default gateway for my existing 60 windows xp dhcp clients

Scenario:
I have 2 routers, and 60 users, I intend to make 30 of the user pc to route
through Router A and other half of the 30 user to route to router B.

I intend to lease up the IP, DNS, and default gateway through my w2k DHCP
server. Any idea how it can be done ?
 
Hello Jeffrey,

Why will you use this kind of configuration? Only because of 2 routers? Where
will you connect to behind the router?

Yes Cause I have 2 separate routers and 2 separate line.

A firewall will be connected behind each router. and the firewall IP should
be my gateway to go out the internet.
 
Then you have to buy a Broadband Device that has two WAN ports and plug both
connections into the same device. This device "is" your Firewall, although you
can add a second one and create a Back-to-back DMZ if you want one.

Click to expand...

1) Two subnets, two DHCP scopes each with their own scope options.

2) Two DHCP Scopes in the same subnet with different scope options, and
reservations for each computer (kinda defeats the purpose of DHCP).

3) Client options, still defeats the purpose of DHCP.
