Not sure I'm getting this right, but I assume you mean on some interfaces the host running your dnsmasq is DHCP server, and on some it is DHCP client. > Interfaces come and go, so it's > not always possible to use bind-interfaces. This seems to imply that dnsmasq should serve (at least some) of these dynamic interfaces. If all dynamic interfaces should be served, then AFAIU bind-dynamic is what you need. Otherwise, you need some ad hoc means discriminate beweeen 'client' and 'server' dynamic interfaces. Also, you haven't said how these interfaces come and go. Are they virtual interfaces? VLANs? taps? bridges? etc. > Sometimes dnsmasq-dhcp > reacts to the DHCP packets coming from the interfaces it's not > supposed to work with, and as they hasn't been configured yet dnsmasq > complains. Again, I'm interpreting here, but I'll assume you mean that on some (dynamic?) interfaces where the host is supposed to be a client, its dnsmasq actually does answer DHCP requests. I would understand how this happens if you already use bind-dynamic, otherwise I don't see how this is possible. > Having looked at the code, I see the warning is issued when > dnsmasq-dhcp has detected the interface hasn't got an address, before > it checks the interface name or exclusion lists.

I beliveve it is perfectly right that dnsmasq can only serve IPs to a network segment it knows the IP subnet of, and that knowledge comes from the interface to that segment having an IP itself. So the problem comes from dnsmasq listening on an up but unconfigured interface. So either dnsmasq should listen on this interface, and then it is wrong that this interface has no IP, or dnsmasq should not listen on this interface, and it was a mistake to let it. Or dnsmasq is receiving requests on an interface which should not present them but does because of your local (virtual, vlan, tap, bridge...) interface setup. Of course, without more info on your setup, I might be wrong, and possible am. So can you please elaborate on your host's networking setup? > Thanks. Amicalement, -- Albert.
