[Dnsmasq-discuss] I want to try and set up a DHCP "server" to handle one subnet

[Dan White]

I am working in an environment where I build Linux servers.
I want to use Cobbler which uses PXE-boot which requires DHCP to work.

This build environment is on one subnet.  I would like to run my own DHCP on this subnet using dnsmasq.

This is because the "main" DNS/DHCP, on another subnet, is running on a Windows machine and the admin thereof is not Linux-tolerant/friendly/cooperative.

The information I am looking for is :

How to restrict my server's DHCP offerings to a single subnet.

How must the Other DHCP server and routers be modified to permit this.
?? Disable DHCP relay to/from this subnet ??

Basically, how can I separate my DHCP needs from the folks who do not want to "play nice" ?

Thanks.
