-------- Original Message -------- Subject: dhcp4 support listen on alias address when its main interface has null ipaddr Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2012 21:17:36 -0700 From: Wei Kong To: CC: Yi Li Hi Shawn Routhier, My customer request bind dhcp server on alias address on dhcp4, so we have a patch below to support it. Please help to review this patch, thanks a lot. --- On linux, dhcp4 doesn't support listen on alias address when its main interface has null ipaddr. dhcp3 support this function. Because dhcp4 scan interface from /proc/net/dev, this is not enough. On linux, both ioctl(,SIOCGIFCONF,) and getifaddrs() could retrieve all ipaddrs on the linux system. Below patch use getifaddrs as BSD as well. --- Thanks Kong Wei
