Title: DHCP Server-ID Override Suboption
State: Active
Authors: Richard Johnson
Group: Dynamic Host Configuration (dhc)
Date: 2004-10-04
This memo defines a new suboption of the DHCP relay information option [6]
which allows the DHCP relay to specify a new value for the Server-ID
option, which is inserted by the DHCP Server. In some cases it is
convenient for the DHCP relay to act as the actual DHCP server such that
DHCP RENEWAL requests will come to the relay instead of going to the server
directly. This gives the relay the opportunity to include the Relay Agent
option with appropriate suboptions even on RENEWAL messages. This new relay
agent suboption allows the relay to tell the DHCP server what value to use
in the Server-ID option [3]. If this suboption is not present, the server
should build the Server-ID option in the normal fashion.
