Hi,

 I'm a new entusiastic user of dnsmasq that I used to replace my
dhcpd/dns server in a ltsp environment. All works fine but I
introduced 2 new secondary ltsp server to divide the server-load and I
don't know how should I configure dnsmasq to associate a particular
mac-addres, or a group of mac addresses, to the next-server1, another
one to next-server2, and so on ...
Currently the options I'm using to instruct ltsp clients via dhcp are theese:

  dhcp-option=17,"/opt/ltsp/i386"    # specify the "root-path"
  dhcp-boot=/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0,ltsp-server,192.168.11.253 # tftp server
  dhcp-vendorclass=pxe,PXEClient # PXE / Etherboot
  dhcp-vendorclass=eth,Etherboot  # PXE / Etherboot
  #  dhcp-option=vendor:PXEClient,1,0.0.0.0
  dhcp-boot=net:pxe,/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0,ltsp-server,192.168.11.253
  dhcp-boot=net:eth,/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0,ltsp-server, 192.168.11.253
  # other
  dhcp-boot=/ltsp/i386/nbi.img,ltsp-server,192.168.11.253

I also manually associated every mac/ip/hostname :
  dhcp-host=00:0c:19:20:a6:25,192.168.11.199,host1
  ...

Any suggestment or useful pointer?

Thank you in advance!,
 Simone
