[Dnsmasq-discuss] DHCP, dhclient logs errors

[Adam Hardy]

Hello List,

after running smoothly for months, my network went snafu today and in the 
process of putting it back to normal, I found errors logged into 
/var/log/messages from dhclient on my main workstation.

I didn't get this issue before IIRC

It makes me wonder if I have installed something from debian which is causing 
the problem ('Unable to add forward map...')

I get precious little from my google and mailing list searches. Is this a 
problem due to packages like mDNS or Avahi-daemon [1]  - or could it be my 
iptables rules which have thrown a spanner in the works? (which I also changed 
since my dnsmasq install).
