Server with Multiple NIC Cards

Symptom:

The DSM Domain Manager is running on a server with multiple NIC cards, each configured for different subnets. Does one need a scalability server on those different subnets?

Solution:

An OSIM boot server always serves all subnets it is directly attached to by NICs. This also holds for the boot server on a domain manager. So in case of a multiple NIC domain manager additional scalability server are not necessary for those subnets addressed by the multiple NICs. Additional boot servers or a forwarding of DHCP requests is only needed for those subnets not directly attached to the domain manager.
