I'm afraid I also don't understand this problem statement: > There is an issue with the way nova uses dnsmasq in VLAN mode.

What exactly is the network configuration that allows this to happen? Does the host have multiple vlan interfaces using the same IP address? That's the only scenario I see in which SO_BINDTODEVICE should make a difference; but I don't understand why you would be using the same IP address on multiple interfaces, virtual or otherwise. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1006898 Title: [SRU] dnsmasq fails at leasing issues when using vlan mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dnsmasq/+bug/1006898/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
