Ray -
Thanks for the answer! In the interim, I had double-checked my firewall
logs and my ISP's DHCP server is now on a private IP address - hence my
lack of problems with the noRFC1918 option. DHCP assignments are now
coming from a 172.19.x.x rather than a 172.16.x.x as they were before.
<D'oh!>Humble pie consumed in large quantities...</D'oh!>
I was wondering, though, about the effect of the initial default
statement in the Shorewall RFC1918 configuration file that permits
broadcasts
255.255.255.255 RETURN
Wouldn't that also affect DHCP somehow?
Regards!
Paul
