Comments on: Internet access only reserved clients in DHCP Server http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/internet-acess/ Thu, 23 May 2013 05:15:55 +0000 hourly 1 By: petkoa http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/internet-acess/#comment-83547 petkoa Wed, 10 Nov 2010 15:44:09 +0000 #comment-83547 It’s as simple as to do some scripting to synchronize the DHCP reserved addresses and your firewall rules…

Sounding simple, but when DHCP server and firewall are on different hosts which run different OSes, it’ll take more than some scripting.

And if the firewall is some kind of appliance which is advertised “to do a single task but do it well” (which is a good thing, basically) and running scripts to communicate with other hosts is “a second task” which the appliance can’t do… In this case probably you’ll have to resort to put a second gateway/firewall with “real OS”-based firewall (considered a bad thing by many).

Good luck,

Petko
