--- Begin Message ---Subject: dhcp3-client: Changing option routers on dhcp3 server, but clients do not change routing table after renew Package: dhcp3-client Version: 3.0.4-13 Severity: normal *** Please type your report below this line *** I change option routers 192.168.100.1; and restart the dhcp3 server: /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart Lease time is 600 seconds, so clients renew pretty fast but continue to use the old router.
