[ILUG] DHCP Server

[Frank Duignan]

In debian you have to edit the file
/etc/default/dhcp3-server
to restrict the daemon to a particular interface
Mine listens on eth1 so here are its contents
-----------------------------
# Defaults for dhcp initscript
# sourced by /etc/init.d/dhcp
# installed at /etc/default/dhcp3-server by the maintainer scripts

#
# This is a POSIX shell fragment
#

# On what interfaces should the DHCP server (dhcpd) serve DHCP requests?
#       Separate multiple interfaces with spaces, e.g. "eth0 eth1".
INTERFACES="eth1"
