Hello All,
I have been playing wiht Microsoft DHCP clients and wonder
based on my tests whether there is a benefit to an active DHCP client to have
been sent multiple default-routers at DHCP lease time.
How does an active client become aware of the lack of availability of the
primary default? DNS seems understandable as the resolver is actively trying
to resolve the name and will process until resolved or out of options.
An end-system, on the other hand appears to send non-locally addressed packets
blindly to a failed local default.
Any thoughts?
Your input is appreciated.
Curtis
