Re: DHCPd Will Not Listen on the Correct Interface

I have a fresh install of FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE on a machine with several NICs,

NICs. I installed isc-dhcp3-server-3.0.4_2 from ports with the default
options enabled (of importance: DHCP_PARANOIA and DHCP_JAIL).

Do you have a particular reason to run two daemons separately?

In your dhcpd.conf you can specify multiple subnets and just start the
daemon, dhcpd will send a reply matching the subnet of the interface a
request was received on. It won't send replys on subnets it have no
configuration for.

The only advantage I see of your approach is that you can shut down the
daemons separately, but I have never had a situation where I needed that....
