Hello,
I did a quick (though honestly not thorough) look through the archives and I
couldn't see any notes about this. We're running a pair of DHCP servers in
"failover" mode and wanted to put the NetReg version 2 DhcpdManager client
onto both of them. In our testing, we found that if the dhcpdmanager on
either DHCP server died but the system was still pingable, then the NetReg
pages and routines would just hang. It looks like this is related to the
lack of a timeout in the DhcpdManager->new call. Has anyone seen this?
We built a temporary fix using alarms into Files_Remote.pm's
connect_dhcpdmanager subroutine, but I wanted to see if there was an
official patch/fix/upgrade or if someone could point out some installation
mishap on our part that might be causing this.
Thanks!
