dhcp questions
Hi there,
I have to support DHCP driven networks for an application I'm working on.
My first question on this is if anyone can give me some hints on this scenario to avoid running into too many pitfalls.
In particular, one "server" object has to keep track on each machine (the "clients", represented by Ice objects in this case) in the network, currently the machine is identified on it's IP address. However, this will not work any more with DHCP so I thought, creating UUID tokens for identification is the only solution.
These tokens would have to be stored locally on the clients and be submitted on re-registering to the server object.
Also, I suspect that storing proxy handles for the clients will not help in case that a particular client reconnects with a different IP address. To put it another way: I assume that an Ice proxy handle breaks on IP changes, right?
regs,
Stephan
