For interfaces I just have:
# Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8). See the interfaces(5) manpage or
# /usr/share/doc/netbase/examples for more information.
#
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
and here I just use udhcpc - the tiny dhcp client... no config there.
I thought I was using dhcp-client (which I was) - but I just changed to
the tiny version. It works perfectly..
I found pump to be the most buggy dhcp client available - it would not
start on the right interface on my "server" that has 2 nics.. And there
were tons of other bugs, ugghh..
I like udhcpc since it is very small and seems to work quite reliably.
