Okay. This is all that is output to stderr: No subnet declaration for dc0 (216.231.43.140). ** Ignoring requests on dc0. If this is not what you want, please write a subnet declaration in your dhcpd.conf file for the network segment to which interface dc0 is attached. ** Sending on Socket/fallback/fallback-net I've seen this before.
