I believe this is a missing feature of ISC's dhclient. I can't find any mention in the source of supporting virtual/alias interfaces outside of the alias declaration in dhclient.conf(5) that allows you to specify a static address to be applied to an alias interface in addition to the address acquired by DHCP.
I did test and confirm that dhcpcd=1:3.2.3-1.1 does work on alias interfaces on intrepid. -- dhclient fails for virtual interfaces (IP aliases) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351378 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dhcp3 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
