DHCP Server - Eth0

Hi Mike
Your dhcpd.conf definitions look just fine. The empty subnet
declaration is exactly the right answer to the start up error message.
No idea why requests drop off though. Can you snoop the traffic to see
if any requests are still coming in, even though dhcpd is not
responding?
What version of dhcpd are you using (dhcpd --version). You may need a
newer (or older) version.
regards,

server will stop handing out addresses for the remote IP's and try to hand out
addresses on the local network interface. Of course this fails miserably when
there are no addresses to hand out, since that subnet will not have any DHCP
clients.
