Is there a way to define multiple WINS servers in the DHCP Server for Sophos UTM 9 ?
The 'Advanced Options' section in the DHCP Server definition will only take one.
I have also tried adding option 44 in the Options tab (which should allow an IP address list), but it is only set up to take a single address. I have also tried adding two option 44 entries, but only one of them is processed.

Hi Mark,
That is correct. At this time, the DHCP Server configuration on the UTM only accommodates one WINS server in Advanced Configuration. You can submit a feature request if you'd like to see this option expanded in the future.
For option 44, you can specify an Availability or Network Group, which allows you to specify multiple hosts/WINS servers.
Cheers,
Karlos
W.I.N.S is not needed in most contexts. It is really a holdover from Windows 2000. You might investigate whether your network could drop it and avoid the traffic required for this extra protocol.
Been trying to get rid of WINS for ages but I have a couple of legacy things which still need it.
