<br>
Yeah, supposedly using 'service' is better because it can pick up any environment that is needed, but other than the annoying messages about not using the init.d script directly, I've ever found service to be any better. Like you, I forget the order of arguments.<br>
<br>
rhornsby@archer:~$ /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server status<br>
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)<br>
utility, e.g. service isc-dhcp-server status<br>
<br>
Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an<br>
Upstart job, you may also use the status(8) utility, e.g. status isc-dhcp-server<br>
isc-dhcp-server start/running, process 1154<br>
rhornsby@archer:~$ status isc-dhcp-server<br>
isc-dhcp-server start/running, process 1154<br>

<br>
ah, durh. The clients pick up the route from the dhcpd server. thanks! this seems to have solved several issues.<br>
<br>
> Odd netmask you have there, btw.<br>
<br>
The netmask is to support using 172.16.0.2-172.16.0.254 as the static IP assignments (host {} blocks in dhcpd.conf), and to have the dynamically assigned addresses 172.16.1.2-172.16.1.254.<br>
<br>
Do I really need that many IP addresses? No. The most I've ever used at home at once was probably 25 or so, when a bunch of family was here with all of their phones and iPods, and iPads, etc. I could divide them up into 172.16.0.10-.99 and 172.16.0.100-.254 and use a mask of 255.255.255.0.<br>
<br>
One of the problems with using the 172.16 block is accidentally transposing it into 127. and turning the .16. into .168. (as in 192.168.etc). That alone has almost made me go back to the 192.168 range.<br>

There doesn't seem to be a way to bind it to an interface like eth0 directly, only to an address. If it is in the manpage, I've missed it.<br>
<br>

<br>
Pretty sure:<br>
<br>
rhornsby@archer:~$ grep listen-on /etc/bind/named.conf.options<br>
listen-on-v6 { none; };<br>
listen-on { 127.0.0.1; 172.16.0.1; };<br>
<br>
rhornsby@archer:~$ grep internal /etc/bind/*<br>
/etc/bind/named.conf:acl internals { <a href="http://127.0.0.0/8" target="_blank">127.0.0.0/8</a>; <a href="http://172.16.0.0/23" target="_blank">172.16.0.0/23</a>; };<br>

<br>
It definitely does seem really odd that bind would start before all the ethernet interfaces were up. Which makes me think that something is not necessarily wrong with bind, but rather with how the interfaces are being initialized.<br>
<br>
After fixing the gateway issue, it appears to have resolved nearly all of the other problems. One thing that bind kept complaining about during boot was that it couldn't get to the outside world. It doesn't seem to be complaining about that now (which makes sense why it could reach the internet now.), and it seems to be able to bind properly like it should:<br>
