Have you tried binding your dhcpd server to the eth0:0 interface (I'm
still looking for the elegant way) by adding the interface name in the
init.d/dhcp file after dhcpd:
______
ie --exec /usr/sbin/dhcpd eth0:0 -- -q
where appropriate?
This sounds more like an iptable problem. Perhaps the firewall config
posted to the list would help an iptables guru debug it. I'm still an
ipchains user at the moment.
