My dom0 /var/log/messages doesn't have anything on assignments to guests. bs004 (ID 9), for example, currently has 192.168.1.143, but there's nothing about that IP in dom0 /var/log/messages.
Are you maybe running a dhcp server locally for local networking, rather than bridging your guest systems out to the general dhcp server? -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
I don't run DHCP on dom0 (are you using XEN?) for this very reason. I don't want DHCP broadcasts all over the network, and don't want the domU's to accept DHCP requests from other hosts.
DHCP *normally* logs to /var/log/messages, unless you configured it otherwise.
try "grep dhcp /var/log/messages"
OR "tail -f /var/log/messages" and then "service network restart" on a domU to see if it shows anything on dom0. Can the domU's get their IP from another server? Try en eliminate this altogether.
