had a problem as a user: i needed to run dhcp pools on two different interfaces. apparently ISC dhcpd doesn't support this. so i downloaded udhcp, the only other dhcp daemon apparently in portage. however, the default gentoo config made it a real pain to add support for my configuration. therefore i rewrote the init script to be more flexible - it autoloads configuration files from /etc/udhcpd, and handles multiple udhcpd instances gracefully. afaik this is the first multi-interface dhcp daemon support in portage.
Created attachment 93094 [details] new init script - /etc/init.d/udhcpd Tested and working, however as I am far from a shell scripting expert it may require cleanup to meet some sort of init script standards...
Created attachment 93096 [details] new /etc/udhcpd/sample.conf Attached is a suggested sample configuration file. The init script already automatically ignores config files in /etc/udhcpd that include 'sample' in their name.
Please, don't restrict bugs without any reason. Leave those checkboxes alone.
Why not multiplex the script (net.lo -> net.eth0, net.wlan) - see the openvpn init script for details on how todo this. That way you can start/stop each dhcp server instance. BTW, you can run isc's dhcpd on mulitple interfaces provided they both use different subnets.
Will do - I'll download the OpenVPN script and aim to upload a new, multiplexed udhcpd init script in the near future.

No longer interested in this feature, so don't wait for my input. Feel free to close the bug if you like.
This is getting out of portage.
