Oct 7 11:50:52 thinkbig16 dhcpcd[29651]: eth0: sending signal 14 to pid
21865
Oct 7 11:50:52 thinkbig16 dhcpcd[21865]: eth0: received SIGALRM,
renewing lease
Oct 7 11:50:52 thinkbig16 dhcpcd[21865]: eth0: renewing lease of 10.0.1.136
Oct 7 11:50:52 thinkbig16 dhcpcd[21865]: eth0: NAK: lease not found
from 10.0.1.129
Oct 7 11:50:52 thinkbig16 dhcpcd[29652]: eth0:
/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks: Network is unreachable
Oct 7 11:50:53 thinkbig16 dhcpcd[21865]: eth0: broadcasting for a lease
Oct 7 11:50:53 thinkbig16 dhcpcd[21865]: eth0: offered 10.0.1.136 from
10.0.1.136 `boothost'
Oct 7 11:50:53 thinkbig16 dhcpcd[21865]: eth0: ignoring offer of
10.0.1.136 from 10.0.1.136 `boothost'
Oct 7 11:50:53 thinkbig16 dhcpcd[21865]: eth0: acknowledged 10.0.1.136
from 10.0.1.136 `boothost'
Oct 7 11:50:53 thinkbig16 dhcpcd[21865]: eth0: checking 10.0.1.136 is
available on attached networks
Oct 7 11:50:59 thinkbig16 dhcpcd[21865]: eth0: leased 10.0.1.136 for
43200 seconds
So the lease time is explicitly received as being 12h (which is correct)
but the " eth0: offered 10.0.1.136 from 10.0.1.136 `boothost' " has got
me frowning... (note that `boothost' is defined in the config pasted below)
The tcpdump file is available at:
http://wiki.neuralbs.com/~kyron/dhcpout_tb16 sorry for the net chatter
but you get it all there ;)

Ok at the risk of being flamed about network topology, I have a hacked
up setup but it shouldn't impact DHCP IMHO (I'm emulating NIC bonding
through IP masking).
Here is the setup:

Here is the config file (sourced by dnsmasq.conf)
