I have a customer that has a requirement from a previous provider network
design for 65 DHCP pools that service 65 FastEthernet sub-interfaces on a
Cisco 3640, it works with no real issues.  I am not sure what the
theoretical limit for DHCP pools is.

Hello list,
 
I need to assign IP addresses via DHCP, with N pools per router (N separate
subnets).
 
Does anybody have an idea of the max number of DHCP pools that can (both
theoretically and reasonably) configured on a 7206 VXR?
 
A more obviously scalable solution would of course be the use of ip-helper
and a DHCP server - software suggestions in that direction would be welcome
too.
 
Vincent
