After some researching, I found that I need a BOOTP enabled router to accomplish DHCP-relay.

I found:

http://www.isc.org/products/DHCP/dhcp-v2.html

http://packages.debian.org/stable/net/dhcp-relay.html

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Networking/Q_20698172.html

Is there anyway to merge such tools as the first link (DHCP-relay for linux) with Astaro?

If Astaro won't do it for me , what would be recommended? Seems freeSco, debian, and win2k support dhcp-relaying.

Thanks!

Right now I have

Cable > Switch > computers with own (internet assigned dynamic) ip's and router with own ip (internet assigned dynamic)-router shares its one ip with a few computers that don't need their own external ip's

So how can I run a router between the service provider abd switch, and have it handle dynamic IP's from the service provider? Seems possible to me, but I havn't tried anything.
