Thank you Lonnie, Darrick,
After burning a bit of midnight oil I went back to running the dhcp server on
the other router. This is what the router was doing before I put the 4801 in to
bridge the networks. Manually modifying config files makes me unsure if the
changes will be backed-up and I didn't want to spend more time trying to restore
a backup onto another 4801 to see if they were.
Perhaps this would be a useful enhancement in a future Astlinux release -
separate dhcp servers on each network interface and a better GUI for selecting
the various dhcp-options for each interface.
However, many thanks for your help!
