First of all, from the info you described, eth4 is not using pump to get a
DHCP lease; you are assigning it a static address in
/etc/network/interfaces, as follows:
iface eth4 inet static
address 68.116.40.4
masklen 24
broadcast 68.116.40.255
gateway 68.116.40.1
Your pump config line is inconsistent with this, as it does list eth4, but
I *think* the interfaces setting takes precedence.
Second, dhcp clients *can* ask for leases with specific time requirements.
The "max-lease"time" statement in dhcpd.conf, for example, is there to
prevent a DHCP *server* from issuing long licenses even if the client
requests a long one. Since I don't know what DHCP server software your ISP
runs, I can't say what it might be doing with respect to default and
maximum lease values.
To specify a particular lease time in your pump request, you use the -l
command-line argument, providing a value in hours. The man page I have does
not specify an equivalent config-file directive. Nor does it tell me if
pump has a default setting.
dhcpd is a DHCP server, so its config files are relevant only to your LAN,
not the external leases.
I'm sorry that none of this feedback is specific to Bering. I don't run
Bering herw, which is why I didn't reply first time around. Since you asked
a second time, I thought I would at least tell you what I could, in the
hope that you might be able to figure out for yourself how to apply this
info to the specifics of the Berign setup.
I think that if I were you, I'd just find out what the addresses are for
eth0 and eth1, and assign them as static entries in
/etc/network/interfaces. Two years is forever with respect to IP addresses.
