Unless ifupdown is smart enough (don't know, you have to research this) the "second" DHCP might override the default gateway of the "first"[1]. Assuming you may want to connect other devices to the OpenWrt you probably don't want to tinker with it's DHCP server and should handle this on the client side. Useful reading: man interfaces man dhclient.conf [1] "first" and "second" in quotes because I have no idea how ifupdown decides which is the "first" interface (file order? activation order?) BTW, in a similar situation as yours I decided to connect the OpenWrt device (Asus WL 500gP v2) directly to the gateway via one of the "lan"[2] ports and with a static IP in the same subnet. This way I can use it as just another device on my lan and plan to use it as DNS and web server. [2] most devices of this type actually implement the "wan" and "lan" via vlans and it's very under OpenWrt to disable this functionality and use the wan port as just another switch port.
