License limit hit again...

It seems like I was banging up against the 10 IP limit only a few years back with all the various IP enabled devices on my network, and Astaro graciously upped the home user limit to 50 devices and I was back using it again moving back from PFsense...
Here we are again, and with all the tablets, phones, ip enabled tv devices, game consoles, thermostats, smoke detectors, cameras... I have once again hit my 50 device limit now!
It would be nice if there was some way to move the ip limit up for a nominal fee as a home user, and I am sure I will get all sorts of suggestions to NAT behind this or that, and tips and tricks to avoid the limit, but that just doesn't work for me. Anyhow, off to figure this out again, and hopefully remain behind the Astaro/Sophos UTM for the near future.

So long as you don't need to have more than 50 (50 >= static and dynamic) addresses on simultaneously:

Reduce your DHCP scope and lease time so that after the 51st+ different MAC address gets a recycled IP from an expired lease from the smaller pool.

The web interface (9.107) doesn't appear to support multiple pools for a single DHCP subnet - certainly ISC dhcpd has more configurable features than are exposed in the Astaro UTM interface. I created a feature request Enable additional functionality in the WebAdmin interface for the integrated ISC DHCP server.

Hi,

Can you explain how that would work and what it would help?

I looked around online and found some mentions of it, including mentions of having 2 dhcp servers with separate pools (which makes sense if one goes down), but I couldn't find an example or explanation of what a single dhcp server would acheive with multiple pools.
Or are you talking about a UTM cluster?
