[Dnsmasq-discuss] dhcp doesn't work with dnsmasq in multi ip environment

[Kolmann Philipp]

Hi Simon,

thanks for your answer. The Default Gateway (172.17.32.1) and the 172.18.92.60 are on the same interface of one linux server. Strangely if I use isc-dhcp-server, it works, but with dnsmasq it doesn't work. That are the two wireshark protocols I attached to my first mail.

The only difference I could spot, was that with isc-dhcpd the server-identifier is set to the same IP as the source address of the package and with dnsmasq I see that the DHCP ACK Package comes from the primary interface address (172.18.92.60) and the server-identifier is set to the Gateway IP (172.17.32.1).

So I was wondering, if I could specify the server-identifier via config file?

Thanks
Philipp

The DHCP client, once it establishes contact with the DHCP server will
need to be able to send packet to the address in the DHCP-identifier
option. This implies that once the client is set up and has an IP
address and default route, it can talk to the server-identifier
address (ie 172.18.92.60) Is that the case? If not that would explain
what you're seeing.

Cheers,

Simon.
