I have two Win2k DC's.
DC1 (GC) Currently running DNS & DHCP (DNS AD integrated using ISP's IP scope 216.x.x.x/24).
DC2 Currently running DNS, eventually will be running DHCP with 192.168.x.x/24.
All servers have static IP's assigned, and have at least 2 NIC's.
I plan on setting the IP leases to expire at a certain time on DC1 then activate the private IP scope on DC2. I know that I will have to /release/renew the IP's on the clients to obtain the new scope from DC2. I know that DNS will have to be configured to accomodate the new scope and also the router/gateway.
Seeing that my company plans on this change taking affect in the next few weeks, can I take steps now to preconfigure this? Such as assigning all servers (currently 216.X.X.X/24)with their eventual private (192.x.x.x/24). Are there any problems assigning 2 IP's (public and eventual private IP address) to one NIC, or would you recommend assigning the private IP to the 2nd NIC. Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance.
