RE: [Nolug] Tons of DHCPREQUEST messages in syslog

Sorry..I assumed a certain setup.

I assumed the machine being used as a DHCP server for a private network
on eth1 while your eth0 is connected to the cable modem. It is possible
that you may need to tweak your syslog to not log dhcp requests.

Don't understand. My eth0 IS the outside interface, and
/etc/dhclient.conf restricts dhclient to eth0.
