No. You must have something incorrectly configured. Why are you using
static routes? How are you starting dhcpd?
You should do something like so:
/usr/local/sbin/dhcpd eth0
Also, eth0 should already be configured. Further, you should have your
/usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf setup correct:
default-lease-time 604800;
max-lease-time 604800;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
option routers 192.168.1.109; #assumes host running dhcpd is the gateway as
well <=== set to gateway
option domain-name-servers x.y.z.zz, x.y.z.zzz;
option domain-name "some.domain";
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.50 192.168.1.70;
}
# example of a static mapped DHCP configuration
host some_host {
hardware ethernet XY:XY:XY:XY:XY:XY;
fixed-address 192.168.1.49;
}
When it starts, you should see something like so (modified a bit):

bring up dhcpd, then bring the interface back up everything works. This
sounds like a lot of trouble just to make changes to the dhcp config. Any
ideas??
