I have a question about a Xen host that runs dhcpd and installing guest/running guest VMs on that host (that use DHCP)...
On other hosts or hosts running VMs, they are absolutely able to get DHCP addresses no trouble... However, the fun begins when the machine I run dhcpd on is also hosting VMs. I can see in /var/log/messages the request and ack from dhcpd but the guest VMs never hear it. If I should bounce dhcpd prior to a guest install or start a guest VM - everything works just fine.
I'm guessing, perhaps, there is some iptables rule I need to set up? Based on the init scripts, dhcpd definitely starts before xend and xendomains and ultimately the xen bridge...
Anybody know what I need to do :) I've been bouncing dhcpd in /etc/rc.local and starting any VMs there. Although annoying, I'd rather do it "right" so I can auto start my Xen guests...
Thanks ahead of time!
