Hi!
I got into same conclusion as as Eli (
http://billauer.co.il/blog/2012/10/dhcp-ip-ntpdate-rtc/) that dhclient
notices that time has advanced over lease "expire" moment after time jump
due to ntpdate. As a consequence it rejects old IP and claims new one. I
tried more elegant way to get this solved so that I first check difference
between local and NTP time. If it is big enough, I switch from dhcp mode to
manual mode using the IP from dhcp lease. Then I run ntpdate and switch
back to dhcp mode. Sound elegant (and complicated), but really from logs it
seems pretty the same as what Eli got.
This works somehow, IP does not change change. However, Avahi does not
tolerate this quite perfectly. It usually does, but sometimes it gets
confused and does not discuss with avahi-browse/avahi-discover. This can
quite well come from the fact that I need to run dhclient-enter-hook to
keep IPv4LL address.
In fact, wouldn't this issue been fixed in dhclient just by monitoring
lease trials: It should not reject the old lease if there are no refresh
trials before time exceeds the "expire" moment. I hope you do something
like that in NM-dhclient. I also hope that you could figure out some policy
to maitain IPc4LL address when dhcp client gets lease.
Thanks,
Matti
