isc-dhcp-server not spawning at boot time, workaround needed
 

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi everyone,

I wonder if anybody here has a workaround for issue #605657 [1],
the DHCP server not starting when only alias interfaces have an address.

[1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=605657

This issue is hanging around for a while, and maybe it's the right time
for asking around for solutions. I googled a bit for fixes, but no luck
yet.


NOTE: I have posted this a while ago on debian-user, but since I have
got no response in there, I have chosen the bad practice of
cross-posting. This thread is long dead on that list anyway.
NOTE #2: I hope this time I landed in the right mailing list :)

TIA,

Victor

Why do you use interface aliases in the first place? If that is only for
having multiple IP addresses on a single interface, then you can do:

ifconfig eth0 add <another-ip>

and even put that in your /etc/network/interfaces (or even better, use
"ip" rather than "ifconfig").
