Found an archived message at "http://www.southwestern.edu/ITS/netreg/archive/0464.html" that methinks has the answer: ________ Leases are not added to dhcpd.leases for fixed-address clients. :-( There was a patch for a fairly recent release candidate to log these to a separate file, but I haven't tried it on the latest RC. The dhcpd.leases file is really there so that state can be maintained between incarnations of dhcpd, e.g. shutdown, restart of dhcpd, etc. The server has to keep track of the promises it has already made. Since fixed-address clients always get the same information, and DNS is not updated, it's not really necessary to record these leases. ________ I looked at dhcpd.leases on my (ISC) DHCP server and indeed leases for "fixed-address" clients were not included. I personally use dynamic DNS with DHCP and have had no dramas with it. Don't know if this is appropriate for your situation, though. > > > > Are you sure that leases are being handed out from the first > > pool? > > yes. > > The rest of the 192.168.1.0/24 gets ips and routes as they should. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- Nick Withers email: nick@nickwithers.com Web: http://www.nickwithers.com Mobile: +61 414 397 446
