I've been toying with the DHCP server options but cannot seem to bring up the process; everytime I run ps there is no dhcpd process to be found and no computers on my network are pulling down addresses from the server.
My DHCPD.conf file looks as such.

-bash-3.1# nano /etc/dhcpd.conf
 GNU nano 1.2.5                File: /etc/dhcpd.conf

       option domain-name "example.com";
       option domain-name-servers 68.94.156.1, 68.94.157.1;

       subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
               option routers 192.168.1.1;
               range 192.168.1.20 192.168.1.35;
       }
}

And my interfaces are configured as such.

cat /etc/hostname.rl0          < External interface
inet 192.168.1.2    255.255.255.0   NONE

cat /etc/hostname.rl1         < Internal Interface
192.168.1.3   255.255.255.0
nano rc.conf.local reads as such
dhcpd_flags=""


What does /etc/dhcpd.interfaces have in it? This should have the interface with which you would like to run a DHCP server from.

To manually test that your dhcpd.conf is working try:

# dhcpd rl1
# ps aux | grep dhcpd
