'morning all. Mr Verhagen has two ethernet cards in a gateway/server: eth0 is attached to his internal LAN. eth1 is attached to his cable modem. He runs dhcpd to provide IP addresses to local machines He has configured eth1 to acquire his external IP address with /sbin/pump. It's a standard RH6.2 setup. The problem is, if eth0 is brought up first, 'sbin/pump -i eth1' acquires an IP address from the dhcpd running on localhost! Not what we want at all. One workaround is to down eth0 (or kill dhcpd) while acquiring the public IP address, but this is ugly, and presumably things will still break when lease renewal time comes around. Is there some way to prevent the local dhcpd from responding to the eth1 DHCP queries? [ Interestingly, Mr Verhagen says that his setup (bring up eth0 first) works fine under kernel 2.2 but misbehaves as described here under 2.3. In my testing, both 2.2 and 2.3 misbehave ].
