Hi
When my dhcp server gets a DHCPRELEASE followed by a DHCPDISCOVER then it
randomly allocates the IP address or the backup IP address that are
assigned to the host in the lease file to the host. The assignments always
got to the correct host and the mac address doesn't change.
When this backup IP address is allocated then dynamic DNS isn't updated and
my container is unreachable.
I've put all the relevant details in the link below but am more than happy
enough to furnish anything that is missing. Can anyone help please?

HI SImon,
Ok that's clearer now - it's the ISC client you use, but an entirely
different DHCP server.
Probably you need to do some packet captures using,say, tcpdump to look
at the actual packets being sent from the dhcp server and the specific
dhcp options being sent.
Also, have a look in the dhclient.conf (location varies with different
Linux distros, eg Ubuntu is /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf) and seewhat options
itis requesting. eg on Ubuntu in that file I have
option rfc3442-classless-static-routes code 121 = array of unsigned
integer 8;
send host-name = gethostname();
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
domain-name, domain-name-servers, domain-search, host-name,
dhcp6.name-servers, dhcp6.domain-search, dhcp6.fqdn,
dhcp6.sntp-servers,
netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope, interface-mtu,
rfc3442-classless-static-routes, ntp-servers;
"routers" asks the dhcp server to send the default gateway info.
regards,
Glenn
