I havent, but I will. Thanks for the pointer :)


My current dhcpd.conf:

# /etc/dhcpd.conf
#
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 10.0.0.255;
option routers 10.0.0.1;
option domain-name-servers 208.201.224.11, 208.201.224.33;
option domain-name "lostinthenoise.net";

subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        range 10.0.0.24 10.0.0.250;

host eris {
        hardware ethernet (not telling :) but i assure you its valid );
        fixed-address 10.0.0.23;
}
}
subnet 192.168.254.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        range 192.168.254.24 192.168.254.250;

host error {
        hardware ethernet 00-C0-FF-EE-E6-BC;
        fixed-address 192.168.254.23;
}
}

but I have been working on a new one: (any idea how to bind dhcp to only
certian interfaces from within the conf file? Or do I have to pass it the -i
eth1 eth2 options?)

# /etc/dhcpd.conf
#
#
# We need to find a way to bind dhcpd to only eth1 and eth2 and NOT eth0
#

option domain-name-servers 208.201.224.11, 208.201.224.33;

subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  range 10.0.0.50 10.0.0.250;
  default-lease-time 600 max-lease-time 7200;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
  option broadcast-address 10.0.0.255;
  option routers 10.0.0.1;
  option domain-name "dhcpd-on-the-802.11-network-works";

   host eris {
    hardware ethernet 00:02:2d:27:2f:07;
    fixed-address 10.0.0.23;
   }
  }

subnet 192.168.254.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  range 192.168.254.24 192.168.254.250;
  default-lease-time 600 max-lease-time 7200;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
  option broadcast-address 192.168.254.255;
  option routers 192.168.254.3;
  option domain-name "dhcpd-on-the-switched-network-works";

   host error {
    hardware ethernet 00-C0-F0-48-E6-BC;
    fixed-address 192.168.254.23;
   }
  }

and as for logs:

it logs to /var/log/messages
and the last line i pulled out was this:

but I am also getting this error over and over again (perhaps its why dhcp
is failing?)
