(RADIATOR) DHCP and Radiator High

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Dirk -

With address allocation from a MySQL database, you can improve the 
performance considerably by changing the FindQuery like this:

select TIME_STAMP, YIADDR, SUBNETMASK, DNSSERVER from RADPOOL 
where POOL='%0' and STATE=0 order by TIME_STAMP limit 1

Have a look at section 6.51.5 in the Radiator 2.19 reference manual 
("doc/ref.html").

regards

Hugh
