h4x0r Posted April 1, 2014 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 So not that I want to do this specifically, but the question was posed to me today at work as a means of alleviating bandwidth while imaging at some of our school locations. Does a DP require that it have a static IP address? Otherwise, in theory the workstation it was being hosted on could move from location to location, acting as a sort of "mobile" DP. Firstly though, I'm not sure how client -> server communication works during the imaging process and when selecting an available DP...my understanding was that the client would report to MP, and MP would tell it where the "nearest" DP for content would be. If the DP is discovered/resolved via standard DNS, then I could see how not giving the workstatio a static IP would allow it to move around between subnets where needed, when/if needed. The only reason this came up is because we're looking at re-imaging an entire location, and would like to keep that traffic on their LAN rather than coming back across our fiber to the main core. Again, this is all theoretical...but I was just wondering if anyone had actually done this before. Thanks for any input!
