Multiple Smart Proxies and Discovery

Hello

I have multiple customer networks and I wish to place a smart proxy within
each one, I also want to enable discovery so I can provision bare metal
servers, I have installed the discovery plugin on one of my smart proxies
and the documentation states to update PXELinux global default, what is my
proxy.url for discovery as I will have multiple smart proxies and will be
different depending on which smart proxy the end target should connect to

Thank you, Ben

we currently do not support that. We are tracking this feature request
as Feature #10794: Multiple subnets support - Discovery - Foreman

One workaround is possible via DNS. Setup your DNS on both networks so
the hostname (without domain suffix) correctly resolve to your local
proxy. You can also leverage DNS SRV setting and omit the proxy.url from
the template.

Patches welcomed.

Thank you, I will look into the workaround in the meantime.
