Because a DHCP server has to cope with "strange" packets from unconfigured and half-configured clients, it's not possible always to bind the DHCP listening socket to an IP address. However, when --bind- interfaces is set, dnsmasq does set the SO_REUSEADDRESS flag on the socket, so that it is possible to run another instance of dnsmasq listening on another interface. For this to work ALL instances of dnsmasq have to have --bind-interfaces set, which may be the problem here.
Cheers, Simon. -- dnsmasq should ONLY bind the virtual interface, not hog the whole system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307328 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
