Welcome to the "edubuntu-devel" mailing list

Hello,

The current environment I am working in requires an Infrastructure  
setup of Edubuntu 7.10. I have taken a look at both of these guides -

http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/edubuntu/handbook/C/multiple-server-setup.html

and

https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuDHCPload-balancingFailover

to get me started. I specifically began with the second guide, and  
wanted to test with a stand alone box. However, I ran into some  
interesting problems.

1) The standalone box upon final installation did not recognize eth0  
for dhcpd, and I had to edit the entry in /etc/default/dhcpd

2) I had to add completely re-install ltsp-standalone-server

3) Create/copy over a sample dhcp.conf into /etc/ltsp

This then got me to boot my first client. I am not sure this the  
typical behavior one would/should expect on trying to install the  
standalone?
Can someone first verify whether I went through the steps to install  
the standalone properly?

6) In re-editing the dhcp.conf file in /etc/ltsp

I added

  failover peer "dhcp" {
        primary;
        address 10.0.14.253;
        port 519;
        peer address 10.0.15.253;
        peer port 520;
        max-response-delay 30;
        max-unacked-updates 10;
        mclt 3600;
        split 128;
        load balance max seconds 3;
}


along with the other directives as shown in the above guide. However,  
my client no longer booted, and I basically stopped there. (I didnt  
bother to configure the second dhcp-server)

Can someone help/verify the whether the instructions in the wiki guide  
work on edubuntu 7.10?

Thanks, Akash Chandrashekar
