assign different dhcp IP range for each client

Post by mctiew » Sat Apr 23, 2011 2:27 am

I am configuring a multi-client ethernet bridge using openvpn, ie multiple clients each with one tap interface bridged with the physical interface on the client's LAN. But for each of the client ethernet LAN, I want to assign a unique DHCP range. One way of doing this which I can think of is to configure local dhcp server at each of the client and block the dhcp from spilling over to the server. However, I would prefer to have a single DHCP server at the openvpn server end. But for this, I will end up having one DHCP IP range for the all the clients' LAN.

Any suggestion I could accomplish the task of having different DHCP IP range for each of the openvpn client's bridged ethernet network ?

Regards.

bridging multiple lans together could be a bad idea in the first place
does your goal really require bridging?
