Hi, every expert
I have a Xserve (Leopard Server) that can give DHCP to my Macs but at the same time, I also use a PPPoE modem that gives 6 dynamic IPs + 1 static IP. So I wonder if I could use DHCP and PPPoE at the same time?
As far as I test, DHCP is way slower in terms of internet connectivity than the PPPoE direct connection. But at the same time, if I don't use DHCP, I cannot use LDAP.
I don't want to sacrifice my internet speed. So is there anyway to use PPPoE while keep DHCP available just for LDAP purpose?
I also don't want to use NAT also because of the slower internet connectivity. But not using NAT means I cannot use Gateway Setup Assistant, which also means I cannot setup my en0 and en1 interfaces correctly. Help!!!
Thanks, experts~
