Note that it's work fine with dnsmasq, listening only to 192.168.10.1

 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --listen-address=192.168.10.1 --user=daemon --except-interface=lo --bind-interfaces --dhcp-range=192.168.10.10,192.168.10.20,255.255.255.0,192.168.10.255,infinite --domain=odiso.net --conf-file

I just tried both daemon, I can't get them work. 

I receive the DHCPDISCOVERY from the guest, and DHCPOFFER is sent, but never reach the guest. 

I have sniffed with dhcpdump tool, I don't see the DHCPOFFER packet on the bridge...I don't known on which interface is sent the packet... 


test setup is : 

auto vmbr2 
iface vmbr2 inet static 
bridge_ports none 
bridge_stp off 
bridge_fd 0 
address 192.168.10.1 
netmask 255.255.255.0 


with a vm plugged on vmbr2. 

If the daemon listen to 192.168.10.1, I can't see the DHCPDISCOVERY packet. 
I need to listen to 0.0.0.0.

To be honest I don't known, I'll try to play with cpan sample today. 
I'll also try to read the dhcp rfc to see what are the differents fields in dhcp packet response.

The example daemon you sent has about 1000LOC - do we need that 
or would the simple version also work?
