Hello,

we're running batman 2013.4, having multiple Gateways. For doing so,
we'd like to monitor the availability of every dhcp-server on each Gateway.

I noticed: If DHCP-Packages (even unicast ones) that unicast
DHCP-Requests / Discovery are unanswered, if
-> they're sent locally on a gateway
-> sent to a gateway not "chosen" (according to batctl gwl) by the
monitoring host.

What's the best way of monitoring all DHCP-Servers? Is there a way to
set up a monitoring node, that can reach all DHCP-Servers?
If not, how can request an ip address locally?


Thanks,
Greetz, Jan
