    Dedicated VM for each docker instance ?

    Help with dhcp vm setup

    I am looking to install a pair of kea-dhcp servers ( in ha mode ) on proxmox ubuntu virtual machines. I am getting myself confused about how the vms for the dhcp servers are assigned ip addresses during boot - since the dhcp server itself gives out the ip addresses. I suspect this is a noob...
