Well, in this case, it's not even returning a different address.
In fact, I'm providing a static address for that MAC address so he really
has a permanent lease, but pump is going dain bramaged anyways.
I can also now confirm that, as well. After about a day after
my previous message, we had that interface go dead again. Checking
with ifconfig, we confirmed that we had no IP address on the interface,
but the interface WAS still marked as "up". Pump was still running,
so it hadn't blown a coreball on us, but it obviously wasn't doing its
job. Running ifdown and then ifup on that interface restored the correct
address from the dhcp server to the system.
We're now going to change that system over to dhcpcd instead of
pump and compare. I think that my assumption, at this point, is that
pump is just flat out broken on RedHat 7.0 even for simple static jobs.
