Hi, Isn't it possible to filter dhcp request with iptables, on the host outside interface ?

Like this, each host have a dhcp server which respond only to vms hosted on the host.

I was thinking of these scenarios: 
1a) Client broadcast request for IP 
2a) Each nodes listen so each could give a reply simultaneously! 

1b) Several clients request for an IP simultaneously 
2b) Each nodes listen so each could give a reply simultaneously and 
therefore the same IP could be distributed to different clients! 

The problem is that each node has its own copy of the lease file and 
that merging is done by corosync after a node has made changes to the 
file so we will need to implement some kind of two-phase commit among 
the nodes taking part in the cluster. Alternatively we deside that only 
one node is handling DHCP requests at a time but this will break the 
concept of multi master functionality in proxmox.
