Hello There ----

I just setup FreeBSD bootp. THe server has an address of 128.53.1.230.

bootp has no problem doing boot requests from other subnet 1 clients.

However ... if i put say 128.53.50.230 as an address in my bootptab
file ... FreeBSD comes back with an error saying

bootpd[288] set : can only proxy for 128.53.50.230

obviously the subnet 50 address is never sent to the client.

How can I get around this ... we have a small HP server which can
server up bootp requests to any subnet no problemo ....


Thanks ....
