--- Begin Message ---Package: dhcp3-client Version: 3.0.4-14 Severity: normal I want to obtain two leases for a single interface and thus added the following to the configuration, according to the manpage: interface "eth0" { send dhcp-client-identifier "0:00:02:8a:80:21:31"; script "/etc/dhcp3/dhclient-script"; } pseudo "secondary" "eth0" { send dhcp-client-identifier "1:00:02:8a:80:21:31"; script "/tmp/dhcp-second"; } With this in place, the dhclient output only ever talks about the secondary: Listening on LPF/eth0/00:02:8a:80:21:31 Sending on LPF/eth0/00:02:8a:80:21:31 Sending on Socket/fallback DHCPDISCOVER on secondary to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 4 DHCPOFFER from 10.171.64.1 DHCPREQUEST on secondary to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPACK from 10.171.64.1 bound to 84.72.16.xxx -- renewal in 1595 seconds. The primary interface is actually configured with the address 84.72.16.xxx, and /tmp/dhcp-second receives $new_ip_address=84.72.16.xxx as well. It looks like dhclient only obtains one address and feeds it to both, the primary and pseudo interface. If I release the lease, dhclient actually distinguishes between the two: Listening on LPF/eth0/00:02:8a:80:21:31 Sending on LPF/eth0/00:02:8a:80:21:31 Sending on Socket/fallback DHCPRELEASE on eth0 to 10.171.64.1 port 67 DHCPRELEASE on secondary to 10.171.64.1 port 67 -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-amd64 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages dhcp3-client depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.13 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.18 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii dhcp3-common 3.0.4-14 Common files used by all the dhcp3 ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries dhcp3-client recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[email protected]> : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
