Nortel 8600 DHCP Relay (IP Helper) Question SpecOp504 04-28-08

Please log in for more thread options
I was informed by my network staff that only one DHCP server is
supported as a relay on the Nortel 8600. Is this correct? Here is what
I am trying to accomplish:

We have two DHCP servers, split 50/50, and would like to have the
switches relay to both addresses. Either simultaneously or
alternating. I know this is available with Cisco, but am unfamiliar
with Nortel.

This would be for redundancy purposes.

Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
