how to get two IPs from DHCP for one NIC

[C.Steiner]

Hello !

There is the following problem concerning my gateway:
(FreeBSD dynsoft.ch 4.7-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE #0: Wed Oct 9 15:08:34 GMT 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386)

I've got a rl0 (outer world) and a rl1 (LAN side) NIC setup as IPF/NAT gateway which is working.
(with an empty /etc/dhclient.conf file)
Here is my /etc/rc.conf file:

=========== rc.conf start ======
inetd_enable="NO"
sendmail_enable="NONE"
portmap_enable="NO"

gateway_enable="YES"
ipfilter_enable="YES"
ipnat_enable="YES"
ifconfig_rl0="DHCP"
ifconfig_rl1_alias0="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
hostname="dynsoft.ch"

kern_securelevel_enable="NO"
nfs_reserved_port_only="YES"
sshd_enable="YES"
usbd_enable="YES"
=========== rc.conf end======

I've also a /etc/dhclient-exit-hook script which updates DNS entries when IP is changing.
All of this is working well.

I've now tried (hard) to get a second IP (which I should be able to get) from DHCP,
configured to the same NIC (rl0).

To force dhclient to get a second (functional) lease I've added the following lines in dhclient.conf:
======== paste start ============
interface "rl0" {
script "/sbin/dhclient-script";
send dhcp-client-identifier "dynsoft.ch";
send host-name "dynsoft.ch";
}
pseudo "secondary" "rl0" {
script "/sbin/dhclient-secondary";
send dhcp-client-identifier "mysql.dynsoft.ch";
send host-name "mysql.dynsoft.ch";
}
======== paste end ============

like I've seen in the manpages, and on http://www.isc.org/ml-archives/dhcp-server/1999/06/msg00218.html

As you can see, I've setup a secondary dhclient-script, which is basicaly a copy of the original one
(/sbin/dhclient-script) with some debugging messages included.

After firing this thing up,
I ended up with only one IP bound to rl0, and in /var/db/dhclient.leases there were two leases,
one for the original interface, and one for the secondary, but both of them with the same (functional) IP,
and both of them with the same host-name !! :

renew 3 2003/2/12 01:17:38;
rebind 3 2003/2/12 01:40:18;
expire 3 2003/2/12 01:46:07;
}
=============== end of pasting ========================

I've tried to adapt that dhclient-secondary script, but It wasn' successfull.
I think that maybe the ISP DHCP Server checks the MAC address of my NIC,
and so I get the same IP again, when dhclient requests the second IP.

Has anybody a clue how to solve this ??
