Firstly, are you supposed to be sending pump as your hostname to request
to your dhcp server? hostname pump in your eth1 stanza does exactly
that.
Have you tried route add -host 10.7.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 dev eth1
^^^^^
then adding the default gateway? If pump continually doesn't work I'd
consider trying dhclient. Pump always screwed up on my multiple iface
machine. It would never rebind for me. Dhclient is much nicer in that
respect.
