color:#1F497D'>Hey quick question on that, we have two different netboot images
up on our netboot servers, a 10.4 image that the PPC machines netboot to and a
10.5 that the intels netboot to. That was the easiest division I
could think of to make sure that all machines netboot w/o and issue as about
half of our PPC machines would not be able to run leopard. In any case I’m
wondering if load balancing in the manner you were talking about would still
work if I have multiple servers that are all identical with the ID’s all
above 4096 for all netboot images? Or will it only work if there is
one image? Also will this work across subnets the same?
We currently are netbooting across subnets but only to one
server. Sorry for all the questions and thanks in advance!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style='background:#F3F3F3'>Anyone done this with casper yet through the
JSS? I want to have multiple netboot and image servers in one subnet
and use mass edit for the auto run data. So I have two servers set
up, both on the same subnet but with different IP ranges on different DHCP
ranges both behind NAT routers. <br>
<br>
As far as I can tell, the JSS will point new netbooting clients to the other
server, but how will it know to do so, and at what point does it start to auto
balance?<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
