Due to unexpected reason (little by little migration of w98 clients to LTSP), we need to keep the W2K server running in that network. Can we then have 2 DHCP server in the same subnet, only serving pre-determine clients

Hi all, When we create a custom chain in iptables, should we specifically create a rule to 'jump back' to the previous chain? For example: iptables -A INPUT -j CUSTOMCHAIN iptables -A CUSTOMCHAIN rule1 iptables -A CUSTOMCHAIN rule2 Should we add: iptables -A CUSTOMCHAIN -j INPUT ? Or, it will automatically go back to CHAIN when there's no more rule? Thank you very much, -- Fajar
