Hi,

I've been using dnsmasq running on 2 headnodes for a cluster with high availability for some time with static dhcp-host entries. So far this runs in an active/active setup, meaning dnsmasq runs on both headnodes all the time. Hosts then get answers from both servers but since the IPs are assigned based on the MAC using the same config there never has been any conflict between the two dnsmasq instances.

Now I'm adding a dynamic range to the setup for hosts that haven't been registered yet and there I forsee problems if both servers assign the same IP to different hosts.

Is there some support in dnsmasq for HA that I'm not seeing where the 2 instances of dnsmasq would coordinate their leases in some way that I'm not seeing? Or should I simply split the dynamic IP range between the servers so they don't overlap? Are there other options or recommendations for a high availability setup for dnsmasq?

MfG

Goswin
