[Dnsmasq-discuss] Failing to get DHCP responses on OpenBSD

[dnsmasq at mailfri.com]

Hi,

I am trying to run the dnsmasq 2.80 port on my OpenBSD home router and am failing miserably at soliciting any response for DHCP requests. I am reasonably sure that my firewall and routing settings are good because the dhcpd that comes with OpenBSD works just fine (and I can see DHCP requests on interface em2 with tcpdump).

I tried all sorts of combinations of bindings, interface, dhcp-range, etc. but I keep getting output like this and nothing else:

$ dnsmasq -d -q --log-dhcp --interface=em1 --interface=em2 --interface=em3 --dhcp-range=172.16.10.32,172.16.10.127 --dhcp-range=172.16.11.32,172.16.11.127 --dhcp-range=172.16.12.32,172.16.12.127 --dhcp-authoritative

dnsmasq: using nameserver 43.23.18.135#53
dnsmasq: read /etc/hosts - 2 addresses


fstat tells me that dnsmasq is bound to *:67 (i.e. port 67 on all interfaces) as it should. Any ideas what else I could try still? And is there some sort of debug setting that would allow me to see if dnsmasq sees the DHCP requests and what it decides to do with them?

Here is my network interface configuration:
