Hi All<BR>
<BR>
I'm using dnsmasq version 2.47 <FONT COLOR="#000000">on Ubuntu Server Jaunty </FONT>with a custom dhcp-script and the option leasefile-ro.<FONT COLOR="#000000"> </FONT>The script is a PHP file which stores the lease database together with available DHCP options (vendorid and so on) in a PostgreSQL database.<BR>
After a restart of dnsmasq, when the script is called with init, i read the active leases and print them with the following statement:<BR>
<BR>
fputs(STDOUT, <FONT COLOR="#000000">"</FONT>$lease<FONT COLOR="#000000">"</FONT>);<BR>
<BR>
where $lease = '1255470657 00:1f:29:b4:84:82 192.168.0.194 pisces *'. Observe that this is without any added \n.<BR>
<BR>
I also log this to a log file, that after init contains the following:<BR>
<BR>
2009-10-13 23:23:18 - init: 1255470657 00:1f:29:b4:84:82 192.168.0.194 pisces *<BR>

<BR>
In the syslog, the following rows has appeared:<BR>
<BR>
Oct 13 23:23:17 aurora dnsmasq[5420]: exiting on receipt of SIGTERM<BR>

<BR>
The problem I'm having with this setup is that when the host pisces, which is a Ubuntu Karmic host, request it's next IP, the event generated is not an 'Old' but an 'Add'.<FONT COLOR="#000000"> This is the row that appears in my dhcp log file:</FONT><BR>
<BR>
<FONT COLOR="#000000">2009-10-13 23:23:45 - add: 00:1f:29:b4:84:82 192.168.0.194 pisces eth1 1800 brander.local</FONT><BR>
<BR>
Is that correct? The client first does two DHCPREQUEST, which dnsmasq <FONT COLOR="#000000">host </FONT>responds with DHCPNAK. Then the client does a DHCPDISCOVER and gets an IP - some times the same IP, some times a different IP. Is this a feature or a bug?<BR>
<BR>
Since dnsmasq read the lease file during init, it should give out the <FONT COLOR="#000000">same</FONT> address and generate an 'Old' event. Or am I just stupid?<BR>
<BR>
<FONT COLOR="#000000">Can anyone help me?</FONT><BR>
