I have a machine with two interfaces on the same physical network serving
two logical networks (say 'a' and 'b'). These are grouped in the dhcpd.conf
file in a shared-network statement. I find that when an address is allocated
on logical network a, the client gets as its dhcp-server the IP address of
the interface on network a and can therefore renew its lease. However, for
clients on network b, the IP address of the dhcp server is also that of the
interface on network a and the client can't therefore renew its lease
(although it can release and renew leases). I am aware that we can use an
option to hardcode the dhcp-server value but this isn't possible due to the
way that we maintain our dhcpd.conf files. I find that if I swap the subnet
sections within the shared-network that there is no change in the behaviour
and that the same interface address is always returned. Is this a known bug
and is there a workaround.
I am using dhcp-2.0b1pl27. I would also point out that the previous version
of dhcpd that I ran (version unknown - dated May '96) had this problem
serving addresses on a machine attached to two physical networks and that
this appears to be fixed now.
