Hi,
I'm having an issue with the DHCP Server in dnsmasq. I'm using it with
NetworkManager to support sharing of internet connections between
dynamically plugged Ethernet interfaces (USB Ethernet Adaptors hotplugged /
unplugged into a RaspberryPi).
NetworkManager sets up dnsmasq to serve on the interface when it's plugged
in. It runs multiple dnsmasq instances, one for each interface as it comes
and goes. dnsmasq is being run by NetworkManager as follows:
/usr/sbin/dnsmasq --conf-file --no-hosts --keep-in-foreground
--bind-interfaces --except-interface=lo --clear-on-reload --strict-order
--listen-address=10.42.1.1 --dhcp-range=10.42.1.10,10.42.1.254,60m
--dhcp-option=option:router,10.42.1.1 --dhcp-lease-max=50
--pid-file=/var/run/nm-dnsmasq-eth1.pid
This all seems to work fine on the FIRST time a DHCP address is offered.
But when the raspberrypi is rebooted, or ethernet devices are enabled and
disabled, the subnet for each interface can change. This doesn't seem to be
an issue until a client attempts to renew it's IP address. The client makes
a DHCP request to the server using the TCP broadcast address as expected.

But dnsmasq appears to generate a response to the requested IP,
effectively assuming that the client is listening on that address, which
doesn't necessarily seem to be the case.

Default-Gateway Option 3, length 4: 10.42.1.1
Should the response not go back to 10.42.1.255 or some other broadcast
address? It appears as though the uDHCP client of TCP stack on the client
is ignoring the response as it does not assume that it's requested IP
address has in fact been allocated to it?
I'm a relative NOOB on this stuff, so I'd appreciate any guidance anyone
can offer.
Kind Regards,
Grant.
