8828.0. "What size system for 2000 DHCP clients/" by TENNIS::KAM (AltaVista Software 714/261-4133 DTN 535.4133) Fri Feb 14 1997 01:13

    Anyone have a feeling of what type of Alpha system would be needed to
    support a DHCP environment for 2000 clients in a grade/grammar school
    environment.  I assume that most of the systems will be started around
    8-10AM each day.  Therefore, I assume that the system would only have
    to handle the initial load request and after that it wouldn't be doing
    much?

	Hi I would expect the smallest one you can sell. I don't think each DHCP request has much load on the system. The main thing would be to have enough memory in the system to avoid swapping or heavy paging.
