The ticket is 1679. I don't know if I classified it correctly-- I don't
know if you guys wanted to consider it a bug or a feature req, but
really it's both. I wanted to point this out so one of the dev gods can
look at it with this in mind and change it if necessary. 

I do need DHCP on the WAN so if there's a quick workaround that anyone
knows of, that would be great.

Thanks,

That must be OLSR related, I've never seen nor heard of that. I don't 
know that anybody is actually using OLSR. If you disable OLSR does that 
stop?

This might be related to other OLSR issues. We haven't had a DHCP server

bug in years, so I can only assume that's likely the case.

We don't let DHCP run on WAN for obvious reasons, though maybe we need a

hidden config option to allow this since it is useful in some 
circumstances. Can you submit a feature request ticket at 
http://cvstrac.pfsense.org ?
