Hi Ionut,

I like the idea -- I think there's only going to be one potential hiccup with getting this upstream: the use of an additional external database.

My suggestion is to go ahead and post what you have up to Gerrit -- even if there's no spec and it's not ready to merge, everyone will be able to see what you're working on. If it's important for you to merge this upstream, I'd suggest starting on a spec for Ironic (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Ironic/Specs_Process). 

Also as always, feel free to drop by #openstack-ironic on Freenode and chat about this as well. It sounds like you have a big use case for Ironic and we'd love to have you in the IRC community.

Thanks,
Jay Faulkner

Subject: [openstack-dev] [Ironic] New dhcp provider using isc-dhcp-server

Hello, guys!

I'm starting a new implementation for a dhcp provider,
mainly to be used for Ironic standalone. I'm planning to
push it upstream. I'm using isc-dhcp-server service from
Linux. So, when an Ironic node is started, the ironic-conductor
writes in the config file the MAC-IP reservation for that node and
reloads dhcp service. I'm using a SQL database as a backend to store
the dhcp reservations (I think is cleaner and it should allow us
to have more than one DHCP server). What do you think about my
implementation ?
Also, I'm not sure how can I scale this out to provide HA/failover.
Do you guys have any idea ?

Regards,
Ionut Balutoiu
